Fig 3 shows Oracle at 88.1% and SAP at 76.2%. Other than that, great insight and discussion. - Davin Hi Ray,

Probably a small issue, but you appear to have some numbers flipped, either in Figure 3 or the paragraph that describes it:

“Of the 101 respondents in Q1 2010 interested in 3PM, SAP (88.1%) and Oracle (76.2%) users expressed the greatest interest in seeking independent services (see Figure 3).”

Fig 3 shows Oracle at 88.1% and SAP at 76.2%.

Other than that, great insight and discussion.
