This IDC study provides an updated market sizing for the worldwide CRM applications market based on completed revenue modeling and a revised forecast for the market over a 10-year period, with a 5-year forecast (2012–2016) and historical sizing (2007–2011) for license and maintenance by four submarkets: marketing automation, sales automation, customer service, and contact center. "CRM applications are at the center of the evolving customer go-to-market strategies, with the dual technologies of mobile and social," said Mary Wardley, program VP, CRM and Enterprise Applications. "These new 'givens' are breaking the confines of the interaction paradigm and reformulating them into time- and context-centric engagements."
