Apps Purchases: 10+ Million Software Purchases
Founded in 2010, APPS RUN THE WORLD is a leading technology intelligence and market-research company devoted to the application space. Leveraging a rigorous data-centric research methodology, we ask the simple B2B sales intelligence question: Who’s buying enterprise applications from whom and why?
Our global team of 50 researchers has been studying the digital transformation initiatives being undertaken by 2 million + companies including technographic segmentation of 10 million ERP, EPM, CRM, HCM, Procurement, SCM, Treasury software purchases, aggregating massive amounts of data points that form the basis of our forecast assumptions and perhaps the rise and fall of certain vendors and their products on a quarterly basis.
Apps Run The World Buyer Insight and Technographics Customer Database has over 100 data fields that detail company usage of emerging technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Blockchain, Autonomous Database, and different on-prem and cloud apps by function, customer size (employees, revenues), industry, country, implementation status, year deal won, partner involvement, Line of Business Key Stakeholders and key decision-makers contact details, including the systems being used by Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies.

BAE Systems | Aerospace and Defense | 111400 | $26.3B | United Kingdom | IBM | IBM Cognos Business Intelligence | Analytics and BI | 2010 | n/a | In 2010, BAE Systems implemented IBM Cognos Business Intelligence. The deployment established enterprise reporting, scorecards and dashboards as the primary Analytics and BI platform supporting reporting workflows across the organization. The implementation centered on IBM Cognos Business Intelligence frameworks, reports and dashboards, with formal Business and Technical Requirements documentation used to define reporting scope for major ERP and engineering systems. Development work included creation and maintenance of Cognos frameworks and authored reports, status dashboards for senior management and operational teams, and the establishment of repeatable Cognos BI reporting processes and standards. Data integration was explicit and source-oriented, with Cognos reports consuming data from Aveva ERM, PTC Windchill, Sener Foran, Open Options, CODA and APEX. Oracle databases were interrogated by SQL using SQL Developer and TOAD as part of report data sourcing, enabling consolidated reporting across finance and engineering source systems and operational datasets. Governance and operational support were formalized through Business Intelligence security groups to manage access to reports and data, process confirmations for the IM&T department, and documented fault resolution and troubleshooting routines. The program included user support, training of new team members, management of contractor workload within the BI team and rigorous file and data housekeeping aligned with configuration control principles. Operational responsibilities retained day to day support for business as usual reporting and continuous improvement activities, including bug fixes and process enforcement. The implementation narrative reflects a structured, source-integrated deployment of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence within the Analytics and BI category to support finance, engineering and broader business unit reporting requirements. | |

BAE Systems | Aerospace and Defense | 111400 | $26.3B | United Kingdom | AVEVA Group | OSIsoft PI System | IoT Platform | 2020 | n/a | In 2020 BAE Systems deployed the OSIsoft PI System to support its SEA-CORES program, a ship energy monitoring initiative created to help the Royal Navy achieve an 18% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions by 2021. The OSIsoft PI System, categorized as an IoT Platform, functions as the program's data-abstraction layer and primary time series repository for sensor and environmental telemetry. SEA-CORES integrates multiple analytical modules, beginning with an energy-efficiency module and expanding to include weather routing, vibration monitoring, hull condition assessment, drag estimation, and stress and strain analysis. These modules produce operational outputs such as most economical speed profiles, fuel used per nautical mile by sea state, engine-level fuel consumption across configurations, and fuel endurance tradeoff readouts, enabling detailed evaluation of tradeoffs between fuel efficiency and equipment wear. Architecturally the implementation captures onboard sensor feeds and environmental data into a centrally managed OSIsoft PI System instance, normalizes telemetry, and provides both onboard and shore-side analytics and visualization. The program is a multidisciplinary public-private collaboration that included partners James Fisher & Sons for a trial vessel, the University of Southampton for maritime expertise, and Furgo for weather and remote positioning data. Governance and operational workflows were adjusted to route SEA-CORES outputs to ship crews and offshore operators, creating decision support processes for route optimization, maintenance timing, and speed management so operators can assess the business case of operational choices. BAE Systems validated the approach in field testing and planned broader deployment of the SEA-CORES software across military and commercial fleets worldwide. Field results reported fuel cost reductions between 5% and 20%, with illustrative annual savings of between £35 million and £140 million for a 25-vessel fleet spending £700 million on fuel. One vessel trial produced a counterintuitive finding where data indicated higher speed delivered better overall efficiency, demonstrating the role of OSIsoft PI System driven analytics in surfacing complex operational tradeoffs. | |
