Business Enterprise Software is a professional area of practice that assists enterprises in designing solutions to achieve their current and future business objectives. While enterprise software has most often been applied to complex technology environments with high technology investments, the practice is relevant for all types and sizes of enterprises. All enterprises have business goals and objectives, and all have resources that must be aligned with those goals in an effective and efficient way. Enterprise software is a critical first step in achieving those goals. One of the most important lessons from enterprise software is the importance of design and engineering before implementation.  Business Enterprise Software is a critical area today given the increasing complexity of our environment and the need for greater agility. The virtualization of work, the multinational nature of work, the increasingly semantic and personalized nature of applications, the richness of technology, the increasingly networked nature of the business, a shift from simple projects to complex projects — all speak to the need for Business Enterprise Software.
