There’s apparently a new EMA report available (anyone have accesss?) that talks to the SLM & BSM Market Forecast through 2012. Not sure how they come to their conclusions, but here’s some of the findings from the PR and my highlighting of interesting points.<\/p>\n
According to the research, SLM and BSM revenues continue to grow at an astounding rate for some solution providers. The IT user community now is grasping the difference between SLM and BSM, and how to apply both technologies within the enterprise.<\/strong><\/em> As such, the report includes separate forecasts for both SLM and BSM. In March 2006, EMA published a market-sizing report that combined SLM and BSM offerings into a single category, with a total market size of nearly $1.4 billion. In the 2008 findings, EMA expects the SLM market to grow by at least 30 percent during the coming year, with BSM solutions growing by as much as 50 percent.<\/p>\n Other key findings from this research include: — BMC Software, CA, HP and IBM continue to lead the charge in both SLM and BSM. — Digital Fuel, Oblicore and Managed Objects have all demonstrated staying power and delivered innovative SLM\/BSM functionality with a top-down, business perspective.<\/strong><\/em> — BSM enables IT to manage directly to business objectives and provides executives with visibility into IT’s value to the business. SLM supports this value by measuring individual technology silos to committed quality levels. — Many enterprises view best-practice frameworks as critical to operations, and ITIL clearly leads the pack for SLM and BSM. — The SLM and BSM market has experienced significant consolidation since the firm’s 2006 market-sizing report, resulting in more robust solutions for enterprise IT. <\/p>\n These may be useful resources for my readers:<\/p>\n EMA research director Erickson-Harris will share highlights from this new research study during a free Webinar titled “SLM\/BSM Market Sizing 2007 Research” to be held on Thurs., Jan. 17, 2008 at 2 p.m. EST.
