Is a simple difference in one term or the other that useful?
The simple list of programs or utilities used is actually very descriptive. The world of software is vast. Not everyone uses the same tools the same way. But if you see mostly Microsoft products you probably have a good idea of the type of organization it is versus a mix of FOSS/almost no Microsoft products.
Kind of encapsulates which industry the company works within, whether they’ve got a newer tech stack or lots of legacy, etc.
Yep and we’re trying to cater to not just software engineering tools. Marketers tend to use a lot of different SaaS products and it’s useful to know if you’re a marketer looking for a new job.
Do they ever. And seem willing to adopt whatever might help, without thought to the long term integration consequences. The disaggregation of Salesforce is vast.
That’s an original sin. I worked for what was essentially a marketing firm with a set of large assets to mock up and sell aka a casino. They had stuff going back to 2000/2001 into 2018 still in production. Really the uniting characteristic was somebody was able to sell something with whatever piece of software.
