Those with access to TechMarketView’s TechSectorViews research programme can now read Enterprise Software Suppliers, Trends, and Forecasts 2024.
Dip into the report for our unique commentary on the trends shaping the market for Enterprise Software in the UK. Understand the big picture for change but also get under the skin of our detailed recommendations for supplier. 
Spending priorities are evolving as organisations fine tune the balance between budgets and competitive imperatives amid economic uncertainty. To enable acceleration, software previously deemed unsuitable for cloud deployment is being migrated. Data foundations are also being upgraded to accelerate transformation and prepare to wring further value from AI, including Generative AI. Cybersecurity continues to demand investment to mitigate heightened risks from digital and data-driven business models.
The report also refers to the need for suppliers to “deliver on the digital promise”. Report author, Angela Eager, says: “Having benefitted from frenetic spending over the past three years as organisations coped with the combination of COVID-driven changes and the digital transformation imperative, the Enterprise Software market is calming down.”
In 2023, the rate of market growth in Enterprise Software fell back to 8.4% and will continue to gently slide in subsequent years.
“The search for value, productivity, and acceleration enablement will continue to reshape the relationship between buyers and suppliers. To thrive, software providers must establish themselves as trusted partners. That requires imagination as well as high quality, appropriate, accessible software to help organisations through their value-based transformation programs and productivity ambitions and deep data skills,” Eager concludes.

TechMarketView’s latest UK Education Software and IT Services (SITS) Suppliers, Trends, and Forecasts report is now available. It is the second of six subsector reports, after last month’s Central Government report and our UK Public Sector Software and IT Services Suppliers Trends, and Forecasts report, published in August. It will be followed in the coming weeks by subsector reports for the other public sector subsectors as defined by TechMarketView: Health, Local & Regional Government, Police, and Defence
This report provides TechMarketView’s view of the UK Education Software and IT Services (SITS) market from a market and supplier perspective. It provides our analysis of the performance of the market in 2023, a year where we saw continuing financial pressures on schools and universities result in growth falling back (to 1.4%), representing a contraction of 5.3% in real terms. Legacy tech replacement, the threat of cyberattack, and pressure to prepare infrastructure properly for AI are all influencing spending decisions over our forecast period (to 2027); as too is anticipation of policies and priorities from the new Labour government, seeking to put “education at the forefront of national life”.
The report also contains an update to our UK Education SITS Top 10 supplier rankings (including a change at the top and a new entrant in the Top 10), with our analysis of what is driving each player’s performance, insight into those suppliers that are threatening to unseat the leading players, and our pick of the ‘ones to watch’.
PublicSectorViews subscribers can find out the size of the UK Education SITS market, its future growth, and who the leading suppliers are by downloading Education Software and IT Services Suppliers, Trends and Forecasts 2024 today. If you are not yet a subscriber, or are unsure if your organisation has corporate subscription, please contact Belinda Tewson find out more.

At our wonderful annual event held at the end of September, we held an incredibly fun competition set in the elegant surroundings of Mall Galleries, just off Trafalgar Square.
Those of you who were there will have heard the talk from Chief Analyst, Georgina O’Toole, on GenAI. The response, both on the night and subsequently, has been superb. Georgina referenced TechMarketView’s unique data sets and explained our idea of the “GenAI Dividend”. Turns out things are not quite as rosy as others may tell you.
Let me know if you’d like to hear Georgina’s pitch and what it means for your organisation.
It was also my pleasure on the night to introduce the crowd to another TechMarketView ‘concept’: “GinAI”. Seeing as there’s no such thing as a free lunch (and that the event took place against the backdrop of the Royal Society of Marine Artists Annual Exhibition) – we felt the need for a competition.
In order to win a bottle of TechMarketView’s very own gin (yes, we’re branching out), attendees on the night had to use GenAI to create their own maritime-inspired artwork. And wow, we had some weird and wonderful entrees!
The winner, however, was Matthew Grisoni from CGI with his rather disturbing yellow submarine (see image). Matthew took home a bottle of the “No Hallucinations” TechMarketView “GinAI”.
The artwork was not the only disturbing aspect, however. As certain guests entered their prompts into the GenAI tool, the bias in the outputs was clear. And even though some providers of image-generating AI tools do warn of this possibility, it is still quite striking when you see it. For example, some guests wanted to depict TechMarketView’s three female Partners (me, Georgina, and Deb), but GenAI’s spin on this was rather more ‘sultry’ than intended (see image). AI imagery is a topic I have written about before, including Dove’s “Real Beauty Prompt Playbook” – see AI imagery fires up an emotive week of debate.
Thanks once again to everyone who came along to our networking reception and we will see you next time…..

The latest episode in TechMarketView's series of Totally Sust podcasts sees SustainabilityViews’ lead analyst, Craig Wentworth, interview Stig Martin Fiskå (Global Head of Cognizant Ocean) and Nigel Watson (Chief Information Officer at Northumbrian Water) about their work on using AI to track waterborne pollutants.
The "River Deep Mountain AI" project (a winner in Ofwat’s fourth Water Breakthrough Challenge – see Cognizant and Northumbrian Water to improve river water quality with AI) is leveraging AI and machine learning techniques to develop open source, scalable, digital models that track river health trends and the pollution patterns associated with storm overflows, agriculture and road run-offs.
An edited (16-minute) version of the podcast is available to stream for free now on SoundCloud and Spotify (or you can click on the widget below).
Subscribers to our SustainabilityViews research stream, however, can stream or downoad the full 33-minute version of the episode. If you are not yet a subscriber, or are unsure if your company has a subscription, please contact Belinda Tewson to find out how you can access the research.
