If you're an expensive enterprise consultant
Seriously, I wonder if putting "enterprise" before random words makes any difference on anyone's buying decisions.
- rodgerd 10y agoI still run into the odd person who wants to deploy Solaris instead of Linux because "it's more enterprise". Yes, that's exactly how they say it.
- jen20 10y agoWeird. I'm heavily allergic to "enterprise" because of spending time in the Microsoft ecosystem, and want to deploy to Illumos because it's better.
- microcolonel 10y agoNotice he said Solaris and not Illumos. You can still buy Solaris from Oracle if you give them your soul.
- mst 10y agoAs is true for many sysadmins, I run into a slight snag there.
- whateverdudes 10y agoHa. I work for a company which has the word "Enterprise" in it. And fittingly, the full company name exceeds 50 characters which is helpful when filling out government forms.
- mrweasel 10y agoI'm sure it does. The more times someone mentions "enterprise" the less likely I am to buy whatever they're selling. If you want to go all in on the enterprise UI for the web, you go for SAP UI5 (https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com). I mean even the URL looks enterprisy.
- strictnein 10y agoThe OSS (Apache 2.0 license) version has a simpler URL: http://openui5.org/ http://openui5.org/ Of course, most links just send you to https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/ https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/ Complete with enterprise level Star Wars scrolls: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/explored.html https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/explored.html
- rch 10y agoIt does if you're serious about it, but in cases like this the usage seems aspirational at best.
