Federal spending on enterprise resource planning will almost double in the next five years, according to the market research and consulting firm Input Inc. of Chantilly, Va.
ERP has a compound annual growth rate of 13 percent and is expected to increase from $3.5 billion in fiscal 2002 to more than $6 billion in fiscal 2007, according to an Input study.
The growth in ERP can be largely attributed to President Bush's Management Agenda, said Payton Smith, Input's manager of public-sector market analysis services.
"Improved financial management and human resources management are two points explicitly addressed by the president's management agenda," Smith said.
