This represents more than $104 billion to new worldwide enterprise software revenue from cloud, information, mobile and social initiatives in 2017&#8230; While there has been a great deal of excitement from the vendor community regarding cloud, information, mobile, social, and other forces and technologies, adoption in organizations and businesses has yet to catch up with the hype. \u00a0Adoption trends of new technologies frequently take many years before reaching maturity, stability and broad market usage. The nexus should be seen as a development and design philosophy rather than as a packaged product.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Peter Goldmacher bio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/peter-goldmacher\/37\/103\/641\">Peter Goldmacher<\/a>, analyst at Cowen and Company, also made predictions about 2014 Enterprise Software, as<a title=\"Goldmacher on 2014 IT\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/enterprise-software-2014-three-themes-to-ponder-7000024061\/\"> reported by ZDNet<\/a>. \u00a0Goldmacher wrote that &#8220;there are very few greenfield opportunities in Enterprise Software any more. While there are a number of vibrant, high-growth SaaS companies, the vast majority of them are selling replacement products. We believe there is an enormous secular growth opportunity in automating processes at the very low end of the market. The Cloud has ushered in a new era of software where, for less than $50 a month in most instances, the smallest of small businesses can get enterprise-class software to automate core functions like Finance and Sales &amp; Marketing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
