objection your owner!

I totally disagree...

-Unless more information can be added to Enterprise Level Application to make it a discussion point or article in its own right. Currently as a stub it doesn't have enough to be more than a footnote to Enterprise Software. I think it should be combined -chollifield

Enterprisey

edit

I noticed a citation was needed for the usage of the adjective "enterprisey". I'm not sure if The Daily WTF would count, but here are two example that mock "Enterprise" software and use the word "enterprisey": http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/The-Enterprisey-Null-Test.aspx http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Enterprise_SQL.aspx -- Christopher C.

Connotative definitions are inherently subjective and cannot be cited. The Daily WTF, though, does provide proof that it is a reasonably widespread sentiment.

Cyclical definition?

edit

The first sentence of the article doesn't really say anything. It basically says "enterprise software is software for enterprise stuff". —Memotype::T 15:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

This is because there is no absolute differentiation of "enterprise" software. It is generally a fluff term loosely applied to software which can be used by more than just one or two people simultaneously, at different levels of permissions. -nb

I agree the first sentence--and the whole first paragraph--is gobbledygook. Perhaps -nb is onto something here. Perhaps the whole paragraph is obfuscation that "enterprise" needs a valid definition, from which then a good definition of "enterprise software" can develop.

Silly definition

edit

The start of this article is downright silly. Yes, it is true in that Enterprise Software is sold to enterprises but that is not a good definition. F.ex MSWord is bought by enterprises but is not an enterprise software. "Enterprise software" is software specialized in the needs of enterprise. As f.ex combining different business applications into a bigger system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mawess (talkcontribs) 15:51, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply


Missing sources for performance, scalability, and robustness?

edit

While it seems quite reasonable to me that "performance, scalability, and robustness" are important aspects of enterprise software, I couldnt find any proper source for that statement. Is there any source, or should that statement maybe removed? Nils schmidt hamburg (talk) 10:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Definition of "Enterprise"

edit

In the software business, an "enterprise" is not just any organization, but rather a large organization -- the exact definition is unclear, but typically small businesses are not considered enterprises (though confusingly in many countries, small businesses are called small and medium enterprises. --Macrakis (talk) 23:10, 6 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Horribly Written

edit

This article reads like it was written by someone whose first language is not English. Almost every sentence is overly long and awkward with bizarre grammatical errors. It should probably be re-written from scratch — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.182.134.2 (talk) 22:30, 26 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

It seems that most of these errors have been corrected, so I see no need to re-write the article. Jarble (talk) 17:56, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

The dictionary definition of "enterprise" is not particularly relevant. In the software industry, "enterprise software" is software used by large organizations. --Macrakis (talk) 15:34, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
