An enterprise application is the phrase used to describe applications (or software) that a business would use to assist the organization in solving enterprise problems. Enterprise mobility is a topic on the minds of many businesses as mobile use continues to rise in the workplace. Through the use of smartphones, tablets and wearable devices enterprises are streamlining their internal and external business processes, and rapidly transforming their work with mobile apps.

Mobile apps in the enterprise are expected to bring in almost $40 billion in revenue by 2016. Enterprises create their own apps for a multitude of reasons: to maintain control of their brand, meet compliance needs, customize apps for a specific purpose, and more. And these apps are used for a variety of purposes — from improving employee communication and managing customer relationships, to providing helpdesk services, tracking expenses and monitoring company sales. The list goes on almost indefinitely.

Integration and Deployment

Enterprise applications are typically designed to interface or integrate with other enterprise applications used within the organization, and to be deployed across a variety of networks (Internet, Intranet and corporate networks) while meeting strict requirements for security and administration management.

Proprietary Enterprise Apps

Proprietary enterprise applications are usually designed and deployed in-house by a specialized IT development team within the organization. However, an enterprise may outsource some or all of the development of the application, and bring it back in-house for deployment.

Trends in Enterprise Apps

Another trend in enterprise applications is the move to cloud computing, where the enterprise moves some or its entire infrastructure to the cloud — a type of Internet-based computing, where services are delivered to an organization’s computers and devices through the Internet as an on-demand service. Some enterprises may also choose a hybrid solution where cloud applications are integrated with on-premise systems.

Some of the more common types of enterprise applications:

• automated billing systems
• payment processing
• email marketing systems
• content management
• call center and customer support
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
• Business Intelligence
• Business Continuity Planning (BCP)
• HR Management
• Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
