NEWS SAP may be the leader of the ERP (enterprise resource planning) software market, but it is does not offer the best functionality, according to a report by research house Ovum. The report, Ovum Evaluates: ERP, claims SAP has "good, but not always the best, functionality for every market environment". Ovum claims SAP will only retain its lead in the business applications market until other lesser-known alternatives appear and take over. Meanwhile, the report predicts bright futures for Oracle and PeopleSoft, but Baan was criticised for "spreading its resources too thinly", and lacking product support.
