When information technology companies to Chinese enterprises motherhood, emphasizing information technology enterprises to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the best way to get rid of one of the economic crisis, while the information technology and companies have become "storm chasing people."
In the last week of the 2009 Conference on China's information technology, information technology experts, Cao Kaibin amazing words, the economic crisis in information work in ERP (enterprise resource management) vendors is a huge threat. He expected "within two years, 1 / 3 ERP enterprises will be eliminated."
Dilemma: second-tier brands were most likely eliminated
Cao Kaibin that the present 3 types of ERP enterprise risk be eliminated.
First to the second-tier brands ERP company. The scale of such enterprises between about 200-300 people, has a certain accumulation and size of the country involved in the beginning of its clients. But precisely because these instead hardest hit. National Service led to cost reduction is not down, once the capital chain, will be the first collapse.
The second category is the more dangerous of the ERP business to focus on a particular area vendors. If the unfortunate decline in the service industries will suffer severely as catastrophic consequences. For example, the largest industry by the economic crisis, non-textile and apparel industry must go, once their investment in information technology industry to negative growth.
The third type is the more dangerous regional ERP business. The company previously contracted with a number of relations in the local information technology projects. But the project collapsed and relationships are of no use.
In such circumstances, UFIDA, Kingdee, Digital China, the wave of the four days of front-line information vendors are better off. But for the last four for the local community, in addition to stability now live outside their own position, but also took the opportunity to "cheap" acquisition of second-line companies to expand their own power.
Kingdee has this year acquired three companies, which spent 450 million yuan UF has acquired four companies. In addition, Digital China is speeding up capital operation, hopes to complete an independent overseas listing to fund M & A launched a series of advantages, expand the market. Industry insiders believe that M & A operations one after another, and acts of public finance management software industry consolidation that is accelerating.
Approach: a "soft investment" New Deal can play savior
Money, in fact, most ERP vendors have become the current bottleneck. So now in addition to local semi waiting to be annexed, or directly out of, are most of the management software vendors have no way out of it?
On information technology in China in 2009, the General Assembly on the State Council Development Research Center Research Institute, Deputy Director Zhang Wenkui Enterprise Institute told reporters the country's new round of economic stimulus plan is planning start, will foster industrial upgrading manufacturing enterprises instead of simply the infrastructure investment. Ministry of Industry has put them on the manufacturer's software investment as a key objective. The so-called soft-investment refers to the construction of enterprise information for support.
Many analysts believe that China's information technology vendors to get help on this, it is the industry's darkest hour before dawn.
ERP Expert Jian-Qiang Huang told reporters: "IPO last week, the ban will mean opening up the GEM speed. For lack of funding channel management software company in China and this is another big positive."
But the problem is, even if the Government's new round of economic stimulus plan immediately start from the third quarter, but the GEM has the fastest start, but by the hysteresis effect, the Chinese information technology companies are affordable to at least wait until the final next year the third quarter. In this period, "to be eaten in the ERP vendors will not be in the minority", Jian-Qiang Huang told reporters.
