Five brands fight it out in 500+ employees category with Oracle on the top position, which is a commendable feat considering that it was on the third spot in the same segment last year. MS SQL Server retains its winning position in the 100-499 employees segment, followed closely by SAP (Business Information Warehouse). Oracle is on the third spot here, similar to last year. IBM (Intelligent Miner) is on the fourth spot across both segments.

In brand loyalty, Microsoft enjoys the highest in 100-499 segment with 87% brand loyalty and remaining 13% unsure of which brand to shift to. SAP (Business Information Warehouse) has almost half of its users ready to move out in future; while the remainnig were unsure.

Product reliability is is the prime reason for owning the current brands along with brand value. In the 500+ employees category as well, product reliability is the prime reason for owning the brands along with brand value. This logic appears to be the main criteria for future purchases as well. For IBM (Intelligent Miner), initial price seems to be a key criterion for future ownership of brands.
