OVERVIEW
The Enterprise Technology is showing robust growth, as was the case in past when this segment defied the
economic downturn, in later part of last century and early part of this century when technology market was
melting globally like butter in frying pan, is projected to continue it journey in positive territory of growth
curve. Enterprise Technology is a mature industry that has been globally available for some time and this
means a lot of competition in the market. Further, with hundreds of suppliers, from start-ups to multi-
billion dollar companies, the market is highly fragmented with enterprise application software suppliers,
several technology suppliers, packaged applications suppliers, and multiple competing approaches. Given
the constantly changing business environment, even these solutions need to adapt and evolve on
continuous basis. This segment, once again is gearing up for unprecedented growth due to advancement in
enterprise and data management technologies, as well as falling profitability and increasing competition for
enterprises. These new trends, with emergence of new technologies and players, are changing the industry
landscape and creating many new and exciting opportunities in existing as well as unexplored market
segments. Standards, interoperability, new business models, alliances and partnerships also need to be
considered throughout the technology value chain, to ensure that technology diversity does not result in
unwanted market fragmentation. To stay ahead of competition leading players need to over come
challenges and find answers to questions faced by them today, while they differentiate their products from
others and resolve varied and complex strategic issues faced by their clients. Enterprise technology has
seen unprecedented growth due to various factors. However one of the most important reasons behind this
spectacular upsurge is advancement and innovation in enterprise applications technology as well as the
pace of such advances, including rightfully hyped emerging enterprise technologies like BI, SOA and BPM.
With more technology breakthroughs and innovations, visible as well as invisible, destined in near future,
global trend looks very positive. This positive growth is likely to be accompanied by dramatic changes in
the industry value chain. Observation of trends and directions of these technology segments is vital not
just because some of them are growing at rate unheard of so far, but also because future of Enterprise is
directly dependent on them. These new advances are changing and will change the Enterprise industry
landscape and creating many new and exciting investment opportunities in existing as well as unexplored
market segments. Given the complexity of the challenges and exceptional opportunity, all the stake holders
need a clear assessment of the enterprise applications technology, and industry’s future. This research
provides a complete 360 degree perspective of enterprise applications technologies, associated issues like
their impact on overall Enterprise industry or industry sub-section, and not to forget inherent technology
evolution and advancements in areas impacting these enterprise technologies. Research examines Web
Services in details and provides answers to questions having vital impact of future of this industry. Today’s
