Enterprise Software

I've been focused on creating a glossary of enterprise software over the last few months. It's easy to get confused when high-tech buzzwords are thrown about. The goal of the geekbooks glossary is to pull back the veil of buzz that often surrounds the various forms of enterprise software, by providing clear and concise definitions for the terms.

Enterprise software isn't like its shrinkwrapped cousins. Whether it's Sales Force Automation, Performance Management Software, or Inventory Control Systems, enterprise software is heavy duty-stuff ...you won't find these applications advertised in this week's Best Buy circular or floating around your local computer club's Sunday swap meet.

By definition, enterprise software is industrial-strength and mission critical. It's not there to amuse or entertain. It's there to run the business.
