Enterprise Software: A Billion-Dollar Business

Enterprise software generates billions of dollars in revenue worldwide. As this infographic based on data from the Statista Technology Market Outlook shows, most of the revenue is generated by customer relationship management software. This software makes it possible to record and store customer data and make it available to other areas of the company.

In second place comes software for enterprise resource planning - software which helps to plan, control and manage personnel and resources such as capital, operating resources, materials and information and communications technology in a timely manner. This is followed by software for business intelligence. This is the automated collection, processing and presentation of business-relevant information. The aim is to generate economic knowledge about the current status and prospects of a company and its respective business environment. In fourth and fifth place respectively in the revenue ranking is software for managing content and supply chains.

The "other enterprise software" category aggregates revenue for enterprise software not specifically mentioned in the other sub-segments, such as content applications, analytical data management software, and human capital management software such as talent acquisition and workforce management software.
