Not that ERP will ever go away, but the threat of SaaS becomes more legitimate as a market-shaping force as time progresses. SaaS applications are only going to get more capable and sophisticated, not less. And there's no glass ceiling that will limit their functionality -- at least not outside of marketing efforts.

It seems like a little 'FUD' campaign to me, but why go after SaaS if it really is that insignificant a factor still in most enterprise deployments? Maybe is really is becoming a threat after all.
