Is cloud ERP set to dominate on-premise?
Do you agree with the premise of this report: http://bit.ly/lFm5MX. Basically, it says:
"It may only make up around 2% of the market at the moment, but Cloud-based ERP is set to grow by about 21% annually through 2015, according to research firm Forrester."

21% year on year right - so that 2% will be 2.4% next year?
If that's the maths then yes, that is a reasonably modest projection. I see they only project Cloud to be 4% of total ERP footprint by 2015 - personally I'd predict higher than that...
Yes that may happen due to slick sales people driven by commission. Should it happen - NO - If you want an accounting system by there are cheaper options! Want to control income and expenditure buy a people support driven system where key features include user friendliness, flexibility in the software for change, transparency in the system removing software mystery and real time feed back on activity - all the key missing ingredients of ERP at a fraction of the cost. Whether in the cloud or not a financial issue not a technology one?

If we keep having the Sony and Amazon issues (remember perception is reality and the Sony issue is a much bigger problem than Amazon, though I think the Cloud took a bigger hit with it) then the projection might be a bit off...
