Major Competitors
According to the June 2009 Worldwide ERP survey by Gartner, Sage had a 9% market share of total global ERP software revenues in 2008, with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft and Infor representing the major competition. In the Gartner article, the ERP market was estimated to be worth $23.8 billion in revenues in 2008 and $24.5 billion in 2009. However, an analysis by IDC in October 2006 of the small business market estimated Sage's market share at 21% versus Microsoft's 12%, Oracle's 9%, Intuit's 6% and SAP's 3%. A major part of the small business ERP market, 49%, is served by other providers.
Sage is increasingly seeing competition from web-based or cloud solutions from companies including Intacct, NetSuite, KashFlow and SAP.
