Gartner stirred up some rigorous debate with its recent CRM market share estimates, which put Microsoft Dynamics CRM revenue for 2012 at $1.1 billion, up 26% from 2011.

And the research firm has recently released another report, this one on ERP market share which estimates that Microsoft's ERP business grew 4% in 2012, "mainly driven by Microsoft Dynamics AX".
