How to detect enterprise software?
Here is the list of quality attributes that an enterprise software must have, so it can be called “enterprise software”. The real enterprise software must be:
- slow – if the software doesn’t do heavy data processing, using all the “industry standard” enterprise technologies (that are also slow, complex and expensive, so they can be “enterprise”), the software can’t be considered enterprise-grade.
- complex – the software must have huge load of features that are accessible through obscure user interface with many data entry fields, weird navigation and huge load of buttons for clicking. The “business processes” are “complex” and must be supported!
- expensive – if it’s cheap, it can’t be serious enough.
So, if you are happening to use (or develop) a slow and complex software that has cost a fortune, then you should know you are dealing with the real enterprise software.
