Expert Insights on Enterprise Software

Enterprise Software is created for the use of businesses. This software works to support the core systems of governing the enterprise and providing communications within it. While enterprise software has been available for purchase as a suite of programs licensed to a business, businesses can also now use enterprise software on demand. This new model of distribution is called Software as a Service (SaaS). Enterprise-software providers include Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce.com, Adobe, and IBM.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Enterprise Software via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
