Is Apple an Enterprise Platform? I didn’t think so.
- wpm 2y agoIs there a widely accepted definition of "Enterprise Platform"?
- feyman_r 2y agoNot a platform definition, but perhaps the page for Enterprise Software is an approximation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_software https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_software For me Apple is a consumer device company. I’m not talking about PowerPoint and Word-like services here, but CRM and BI services that S500 companies would also want to focus on.
- philjohn 2y agoSeeing as software engineers at Facebook and many other tech companies tend to mostly use Apple MBP's, I'd say yes.
- feyman_r 2y agoMBP is not an Enterprise Product or service. It’s a consumer device that an Enterprise permits. Sales force, PowerBI, CRM, GSuite - those are Enterprise services. For example, I don’t see a FaceTime for Work or iMessage for Work product. They are first class consumer services as they should be.
