Even with zero growth at SAP, it would still take any competitor a couple of years of triple-digit growth to overtake the German giant. PeopleSoft has not made wrong move so far, and Baan is also showing that it has the mentality and results to become a top-three player. Oracle has lately, focused more attention on its applications business as a growth engine and seem to be reaching, most aggressively, into the territory targeted by the middle market client/server accounting players. JD Edwards seem to be in the most vulnerable position, with their continued reliance on the momentum of IBM's As/400 line, coupled with their need for transition to new product lines and platforms, where their previous market-leading positioning was less than clear cut.

ERP vendors are definitely extending their reach as they fight to maintain their growth momentum, during the transition from client/server through browser/server to the Promised Land of distributed components. We can expect to see many more acquisitions along the lines of the Bann/ Aurum deal, an increasing focus on the Microsoft BackOffice platform, and ERP packages turning up more and more in business that previously, could just envy functionality available to those with deeper pockets.
