Mid-size Application Deployment: Peer Perspectives on Process, ROI, and Key Providers

Overview With both Oracle and SAP ramping up their efforts to attract midsize businesses to their enterprise applications, many have wondered: can they deliver successful deployments to smaller customers?

Read this insightful Nucleus Research note to see how your midsize peers have handled their application deployment projects. You'll gain insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each provider in various deployment scenarios and you will see the key measures of success like ROI and progress against project timeframe and budget.
