Enterprise software companies where software is installed on premise usually have some sort of Client Services or Integration team separate from the development team. The job of the team is to take the software and get it installed on site and integrated with all of the customer's other systems. Given the number of unknowns encountered at a customer's site and with customer's other systems, this is a good role for a strong generalist. Ofcourse, you also have to enjoy constant interaction with the customer. These kind of engagements usually take months, though I've seen them easily go over a year in the banking industry due to sheer complexity of the integrations.
