Venture capital investors are shifting “away from the frenzy surrounding consumer-focused companies,” such as
social websites and mobile-apps makers, to online business-to-business software companies. The shift is driven by
their hopes to capitalize on enterprises looking for cost effective ways to replace aging traditional enterprise
software, such as email systems. For enterprises, replacing traditional software with online software is faster and
less costly to both implement and upgrade. Venture capital firms invested $1.2 billion into online business-to-
business software companies in Q3 2011, nearly double the amount invested a year prior.

Tide Shifts on Web Start-Ups
The Wall Street Journal 11/22/2011
What We’ve Been Reading
According to research firm Canalys, Apple is expected to overtake HP and become the top PC maker in the world in
2012. Apple’s total projected sales of both the iPad and the Mac lineup are fueling this new leadership position.
However, while Apple has seen its PC market share expand from 9% to 15% in four quarters, a Canalys Analyst
foresees iPad shipments in the US coming under pressure with the launch of the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet at
competitive price points. Similarly, PC makers are fighting to compete with Apple’s profitability with the new
release of Android 4.0 and Intel’s Ultrabooks.

SAP AG, the world’s largest provider of business management software, has agreed to buy SuccessFactors for $3.4
billion in cash, an eight times multiple of next year’s forecasted revenue. The transaction continues the trend of
widespread cloud adoption set by companies such as Oracle, Apple, Salesforce.com, IBM, Amazon, Dell, and
Microsoft. Notably, this deal follows shortly after rival Oracle’s acquisition of RightNow. SAP AG Co-CEOs, Bill
McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, have spent $9 billion on recent takeovers as the company strives for better
delivery on SaaS offerings around computing, analytics, and mobile applications.

SAP Sheds M&A Inhibitions as Oracle Rivalry Moves to the Cloud
Bloomberg Businessweek 12/06/2011
Two-thirds of the 90 million smart phone users in the U.S. used their phones for either comparing products and
price, searching for coupons, or locating a retail store in the month of September, according to research by
comScore. These shopping activities, along with responsiveness of the market to consumer demand for increased
mobile shopping functionality, are driving robust growth in m-commerce. An estimated 38% of smart phone users
have already made a purchase with their phone at least once. comScore research shows that 47% of these purchases
were for digital goods, while the remainder was for physical goods and services such as clothing, tickets, or
electronics.

Mobile Shopping goes Mainstream
comScore 12/05/2011
According to a KPMG survey of 10,000 adults worldwide, online shopping is preferred over a physical outlet for
goods across the majority of categories. Non-bank online payment providers such as PayPal are benefitting greatly
from this trend, as evidenced by PayPal being the preferred payment method over credit cards for consumers in both
Europe and the Middle East. In addition, despite privacy and fraud concerns, consumers are increasingly willing to
allow companies to track online usage patterns and personal information in exchange for lower costs or free content.
Globally, 62% of respondents stated their willingness to allow their personal information to be tracked by
advertisers.
