Enterprise Mobility Management Software
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2015 -- Enterprise mobility management (EMM) software has a buyer power score of 3.4 out of 5, which reflects positive negotiation conditions for buyers. During the past three years, low geographic barriers have allowed suppliers to reach virtually any buyer in the market and, in turn, have helped maintain competition. Furthermore, because cloud computing lowers the up-front costs associated with procurement and reduces dependence on complementary equipment, the adoption of cloud computing technologies has reduced the market's historically high switching costs. In turn, buyers have been better able to try out multiple suppliers, which has further boosted market competition. This market’s top suppliers include SAP SE, Good Technology, Mobile Iron Inc. and Microsoft Corporation. Together, low geographic barriers and the development of cloud computing technologies have curbed price growth during the past three years, which has helped buyers maintain leverage in negotiations.
Buyers have also benefited substantially from low supply chain and vendor financial risk. “High competition among upstream vendors has reduced the risk of input price shocks. In turn, suppliers have had minimal difficulty managing their supply chains and maintaining consistent pricing strategies,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat. Moreover, supply chain stability and high market profitability have alleviated vendor financial risk, thereby better ensuring supplier continuity. Thus, low financial risk has boosted the viability of long-term contracts, which has further aided buyer power.
Nonetheless, a number of factors have hurt buyer power. During the past three years, the adoption of mobile devices has skyrocketed, services have increasingly shifted online and businesses have increased their spending on computer networks. Together, these forces have driven up the demand for EMM software and allowed market prices to rise, costing buyer's leverage. “This trend is projected to continue through 2017, while acquisition activity grows and further alleviates competitive pressures. Without any effective substitutes, IBISWorld anticipates that buyers will become increasingly dependent on large suppliers with substantial power in the market, and buyer power will continue to slowly erode,” Krabeepetcharat says.
