I've been building enterprise software for a while, but in smaller startups. In all cases we've taken pride in our UX. In the current product I'm building, the domain experts are a generation older than myself and the mockups and designs they produce reflect that. If we just recreated their spec to the pixel, our application would fit right in on a Windows 95 desktop. Yet if you were to look at our application, it has a clean, modern, user friendly design. To accomplish that required me to occasionally push back when they were set in their ways or some cases just ignoring the requirements and building out certain functionality my way. The domain is sufficiently complex that we don't have a ton of time to focus on UX. So the most important thing was setting the general UX patterns from day 1 and mandating developers follow that early on.
