To be fair, our definition isn't necessarily the definition either. And there are degrees of "enterpriseyness*. We, at Fogbeam, try to distinguish products by really emphasizing the integration aspect. But a tool without all those features could absolutely still be a useful tool, depending on the situation.
We're angling towards really large organizations with our offering - the kinds of companies that are using BPM / Workflow engines, a SOA architecture, LDAP/AD, etc. But many firms, especially smaller ones, might not want or need those integrations.

Probably something like Yammer, but for your own intranet.
yup!
So, none of the features that mindcrime mentioned upthread?

#1 and #3 came to mind for me immediately, even before I read your comment. Although SSO integration is displacing LDAP/AD.
And smaller firms generally view 'Enterprise' solutions as bloated consulting-ware, so if that's their market, they need to work on their messaging.
