Enterprise Applications
Enterprise Applications (EA) refers to a wide range of software system platforms that are designed for use by an entire organization rather than one individual user. While there are a plethora of them available, one enterprise application typically includes multiple different programs that are integrated into one and designed to work together. This means that the HR department, accounting, and the sales team, for instance, can all use the same application but for different needs.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Enterprise Applications
EAs are most popular and practical for large businesses, but they can also be utilized by SMBs. This eliminates the need to use multiple different programs, such as one for accounting and a separate one for HR needs. By integrating several separate programs into one application, business owners can get a better overall picture of their company’s health while increasing the productivity and accuracy of data.
