Is Apple an Enterprise Platform? I didn’t think so.



Is there a widely accepted definition of "Enterprise Platform"?


Not a platform definition, but perhaps the page for Enterprise Software is an approximation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_software

For me Apple is a consumer device company.

I’m not talking about PowerPoint and Word-like services here, but CRM and BI services that S500 companies would also want to focus on.


Seeing as software engineers at Facebook and many other tech companies tend to mostly use Apple MBP's, I'd say yes.


MBP is not an Enterprise Product or service. It’s a consumer device that an Enterprise permits. Sales force, PowerBI, CRM, GSuite - those are Enterprise services. For example, I don’t see a FaceTime for Work or iMessage for Work product. They are first class consumer services as they should be.
