PGR experts report that their System Analysis and Program Development (SAP) has been in line with expectations. Experts are still seeing slow growth in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) sector, but some more bullish European experts believe the recovery of IT spending in Europe will contribute to solid pipeline.

Experts report that HR and CRM modules continue to lose out as cost considerations drive customers toward SAAS players like CRM and ORCL PSFT.  Experts also found that flexibility on maintenance pricing is still aggressive.  Some resellers think this will help close more deals relative to last year at the expense of margins.  Other resellers cite an increase in upgrades and strong demand for ERP Central Component (ECC) 6.0.  Overall, most agree that growth for SAP is tied to a slow economic recovery and not product cycle.
