Lawson is relevant as industry solutions as defined by Lawson itself. With over 5,000 (out of 6,000) hospitals using Lawson, it will need to leverage its dominance globally.

Lawson is relevant as a Tier 2 solution, it will never be able to compete against Global giants SAP, Microsoft, and Oracle. To reach the $1 billion revenue level, Lawson will need to acquire additional processing capabilities and sell 2,000 more new licenses on an annual basis.

Not easy to do when you don’t have the sales force or the consultants to support the existing client base.

The interesting thing is whether Lawson will go the SaaS route and make its products more available for SMBs….
