Sure. Lots of money to be made. The reason I got out of enterprise though is that the feedback loop is flawed. Your users are rarely your decision makers, large capital investments and stickiness that comes with adopting an organization-wide solution means the best product is less likely to win than the best sales force. I want to build the best products, so I chose to go find a company who's business model was better aligned with that value.

Good point about the feedback loop. My experience in the educational software industry was that it was the worst of both worlds: the broken feedback loop, but slower because of yearly cycles, plus they don't want to pay as much as enterprises.
