The BW article:

With a commanding 70% share of the CRM software market ...

That statement doesn't pass the laugh test. If Siebel had 70% of the market, the market was only $4 billion last year including services revenue. (IDC pegs it at $6.6 billion.) Using Aberdeen's projection in the very next paragraph that the CRM market will be $14 billion this year, maintaining a 70% market share implies that Siebel's revenue will grow from $1.8 billion last year to $10 billion this year.

Ya gotta wonder what the author and the editor are getting paid to do when stuff like that gets published.
