My problem with the enterprise is that I see the problems my company has, but it's hard for me to gain any reasonable degree of certainty that existing solutions wouldn't solve our problems and aren't getting adopted by other companies.
The reason for this: many companies are bogged down in inertia, at least at many levels that aren't seen as directly driving growth. So when I see the horror that is our phone system (it's a horror) and I think "I bet we could run this shit through an iPad" and then see other solutions out there that are clearly better, where do I see how I would differentiate myself?
So it's only when you're in the enterprise, have a problem, get authorized to actually solve it (rare rare rare) and THEN actually experience available solutions falling short that you can start to figure out what you'd build and do differently.
