Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The Forrester Wave™ evaluation of enterprise apps software licensing and pricing assesses vendors against two distinct requirement sets: small- and medium-sized business (SMB) licensing requirements that favor user-based pricing, and large enterprise licensing requirements that value a choice of licensing metrics. QAD, the fifteenth largest enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendor by revenue, earned Leader status in the SMB edition and was a Strong Performer in the large enterprise edition of the survey. For its current offering, the vendor achieved the highest score for the broadest range of usage-based metrics and placed in the top two for overall software life-cycle ownership costs. On the strategy side, QAD ranked first among the vendors evaluated for offering upfront selection and was a close second for implementation. QAD should be considered by midmarket and large enterprises that seek the right balance in software licensing and pricing policy.
