The term 'Enterprise software' has been abused (for long enough to confuse people) to sell things with the implied argument that 'you can't achieve your enterprise (i.e. b2b-level) software goals without this' usually with no justification for this even being offered.

The term is clearer when properly confined to its specific goals: It was coined in the late '80s at a time when someone had the idea that systems integration (hitherto occurring between departments of the same company) could be extended to include b2b-level systems integration. And that's all it is:

"enterprise software" is any software that provides or assists systems integration between several companies.

On that basis, Perl is enterprise software ;)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
