Abstract
We have invented a method and device for enabling users of enterprise software products to create, publish, and share reviews of enterprise software products. This useful, concrete and tangible result is accomplished through a server-hosted website accessible through the Internet. There are unique challenges with creating and sharing reviews of enterprise software products (compared to other products), and our invention solves these problems using several new and innovative methods we created, which form the basis of this application. Using this website, users of enterprise software can create a review of a product they are using or deploying, and also view reviews created by other users about the enterprise software products they are interested in. With usage, this invention becomes a global repository of enterprise software product reviews and a resource for users worldwide to share opinions and experiences to help each other evaluate, select, buy, and use enterprise software products.
