The Gartner Worldwide IT Spending Forecast predicts that spending in the enterprise software market will hit $335bn in 2015, a 5.5 percent increase on 2014. This growth will be driven by lower prices and vendor consolidation of software, as providers of cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings compete with vendors of traditional software for the attention of IT decision makers.
“Enterprise customers and application vendors have built their business on 1980s traditional databases,” stated Barry Morris, NuoDB President and CEO. “Now they are looking to NuoDB for a next generation SQL database solution that is architected to exploit the promise of next generation data centers and cloud computing.”
“I am very familiar with the EMEA market from my tenure as CEO of IONA Technologies, when we grew the company to be a top 5 European software vendor,” continued Morris. “The extraordinary degree of EMEA interest I see in NuoDB puts us in an similarly advantageous position for success in the region,” concluded Morris.
