what does enterprise mean?

hello /prog/

Could anyone tell me what people are trying to say when they say something is enterprise? I don't get why this word is thrown around so much on job ads and development platforms and such. Is there a difference between something that is enterprise and something that is not enterprise?

Enterprise begins with public static void.

I think I understand now, thanks.

but what about:

| we secure enterprise information and applications on today's most popular mobile devices
| we secure enterprise information
| enterprise information

I am confused.

we secure public static void information and applications on today's most popular mobile devices
we secure public static void information
public static void information

It's quite simple.

oic, it is just useless verbiage that should be ignored when reading, like public static void. Thanks you guys.

It's a software industry buzzword just like "open" but with the opposite connotation. It's for business-oriented types who associate open software with low quality, consumer software with medium quality, and enterprise software with high quality. It's usually very expensive custom software or normal software with a very expensive SLA.

thanks friend. I guess the words closed, proprietary, and expensive have too negative of a connotation.

>>7 Yes, pretty much.

[m]Lesson: Overview of the Enterprise Concept
The ENTERPRISE QUALITY API provides enterprise-level, robust, scalable turnkey solutions. This comprehensive software package supports high-availability object-oriented mechanisms. Enterprise objects exist on a plane called _{anus space}, or just /prog/. When software is delivered in a flexible, personalized, cutting-edge Internet-enabled e-business application product suite, /prog/ space coordinates are transformed to enterprise space coordinates.

You forgot public static void.
