Success in the Enterprise is dictated by throughput and repeatability, not in coolness of the solution. It's unfortunate, but the nature of the beast. They want their batch reports run on time, every night, and come out 100% accurate.
That's not sexy, but it helps them make $. The end.
- tomjen3 16y agoThis is a common misconception: they make money until somebody else comes by and beat them with tech that outclass their own. The issue isn't that using better tech is better, but that it is better for the job security just to go with whatever everybody else does - then if something goes wrong, you can't be singled out for blame.
- igrekel 16y agoI agree that it can be a competitive advantage but it is rarely because of the technology itself, it is because of the change in business it enables. But there a lot of software used in an enterprise that is not a competitive advantage. You could argue that it could become an advantage but often the advantage would be marginal so you're better off working on where you can get significant gains or advantages. To see these opportunity, you need to know your business extremely well, you have to be passionate about the business too, not just technology.
