I was excited by the first few enterprise partnerships, but I’ve become disappointed. I work for a large enterprise apps vendor, and we’ve seen no impact / evidence of Apple in the enterprise apps market. It definitely is a huge opportunity for Apple, but their partnerships to-date have done little to make significant inroads into this market.
At my workplace I would say the only possible enterprise partner worth a spit would be Microsoft. Anybody else would be a waste of time.
Edit: and that isn’t saying anything aboutbMS capability as a partner for Apple, it is just the IT department is an MS shop. If they had their way we would be using windows phones. They didn’t win that one.
As I was reading the article, I suddenly started to imagining an Apple-Micorsoft merger. A frightening thought! (And no, I haven't been consuming any sort of psychotropic substance - just my morning cup o' tea )
