I like Steve Jobs' definition: With enterprise software, the people who are making the purchase decision / order (whether it's in-house or externally developed) are typically not the people who're going to use the software. There are exceptions, of course.
- acon 16y agoI like this definition. It is short and zesty and feels true. However I don't think it is a sufficient condition for something to be enterprise software. Some tools for software developers or other highly skilled employees are too expensive to be bought by the employees themselves, but I still don't consider it enterprise software. I think for it to be real enterprise software it must also be dictated from the powers that be that the minions should use it, wether they like it or not.
