How is enterprise software different from other types of software?
Enterprise apps are built for a specific purpose in a specific context. They solve the problems and support the business goals of large organizations.
Enterprise apps have to be reliable and secure, plus they need to be scalable and easy to integrate with other services, large and small. They need to be created with cost efficiency and maintainability in mind to prevent the snowball effect and the need to refactor the organization’s entire architecture in the future. Finally, these software solutions have to be impactful and offer the quality experience worthy of a market leader.
Enterprise application development requires a deep understanding of a company’s business operations. For this, an experienced software development company is essential.
What are the capabilities of enterprise software?
The large scale of an enterprise company typically means that its software requires superior efficiency and security when handling data and automating processes. Scalability is also important, especially with digital transformation in mind. A well-designed and responsibly developed custom app can meet all of these criteria. The capabilities of enterprise software can be further enhanced with the use of cutting-edge technologies such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence allow for the creation of intelligent assistants, voice recognition systems, automatic translators, image processing tools, and much more.
These applications can be brought to life through specialized algorithms and annotated datasets, which are used by AI to form connections, much like the neural pathways in human brains. Some solutions are already better at certain tasks than humans are.
Big Data is a field concerned primarily with analyzing and extracting information from extremely large data sets. In business, these solutions can be applied to predict user behavior, track market trends, and produce complex simulations.
Big Data is used for supply planning in manufacturing, personalizing healthcare, and targeted advertising in a range of industries.
