	Enterprise software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Enterprise Software is software that solves an enterprise problem (rather than a departmental problem) and usually enterprise software is written using Enterprise Software Architecture.
		As many business enterprises have similar departments and systems, enterprise software is often available as a suite of programs that have attached development tools to modify the common programs for the specific enterprise.
		Until recently all enterprise software was implemented by a solutioning company within the customer's business offices, or within a data center specifically built for that enterprise.

	Line56.com: Enterprise Software: Metamorphosis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As a result, 10 years after enterprise software met the Internet, some of the product categories born of that wave (and most of those that were re-energized by it) now are joining products from the client/server, minicomputer and mainframe eras in a very large "core" of mature software technologies.
		The end of the old platform-based expansion mechanism and the beginning of the industrial age of enterprise software are nothing to lament.
		Software also will be helped by a new industrialized value chain that will allow it to address every opportunity efficiently and will greatly expand software's audience.

	"Enterprise software" is a social, not technical, phenomenon
		Native English speakers might think an "enterprise" is something brave, noble, and dangerous, such as starting a small business, but in this case, "enterprise" is used to mean the opposite: the executives of a large, risk-averse company have chosen to flatter themselves by pretending that they're engaged in something brave, noble, and dangerous.
		That's not "enterprise" software, because it's sold to an individual, not a so-called enterprise.
		"Enterprise software" is software that has to be sold to an "enterprise", where someone who doesn't use the software (typically a manager) must be persuaded to use his purchasing authority to buy the software.

	Will enterprise software companies take over e-learning? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The notion that large enterprise software players will enter and take over the corporate e-learning world is as old as the industry itself, but lately the projection comes up more frequently--primarily because many of these large players have become more serious about the e-learning industry.
		Enterprise software such as CRM and ERP is usually expensive.
		Typically, enterprise software salespeople are used to working on much larger deals in dollar size and selling learning modules often isn’t natural to them.

		In addition to budgeting for software costs, financial executives should plan to write checks to cover consulting, process rework, integration testing and a long laundry list of other expenses before the benefits of ERP start to manifest themselves.
