This is a crap article--a rant. It presents no convincing evidence of the premise. If enterprise software is dead, why am I seeing its use all around me? My anecdotes hold just as much weight as the author's. Oh, and the author has something to sell, too.

As my former startup now subsidiary is being forced to abandon working products for inferior ones in the name of "enterprise" or some box checking version of "security" I also agree that this notion of enterprise software going away is a bit silly. They tried to hook some new enterprise ready expenses tool in and force us to use it. It exposed the entire pay structure of the company to anyone who wanted to know. We were back in the old product that worked before the official launch of the new one. We have had numerous people leave because of literally arbitrary policies like buying a meal at an airport is covered but buying a water or snacks is not a covered expense. I.e. your always forced to the most expensive option and in the same breath being told to reduce travel expenses. There now my rant is anecdotal too.

My thoughts exactly. Living and breathing in Enterprise software world. The author is clueless.
