Enterprise Class
Definition - What does Enterprise Class mean?
Enterprise class is a buzzword that refers to applications that are designed to be robust and scalable across a large organization. There are no firm standards for what makes an application or platform enterprise class, but enterprise class applications are generally:
- Open and compatible with existing databases and tools
- Customizable for the needs of specific departments
- Powerful enough to scale up along with the needs of the business using it
- Secure from outside threats and data leaks
Techopedia explains Enterprise Class
Enterprise class is not an official certification given to software suites that pass specific tests. Instead, it is a marketing term that suggests that an application or platform is reliable and powerful enough to serve as a one-stop solution for companies of any size. As such, claims that a software package is enterprise class should be approached with some skepticism.
