What is an “Enterprise System”?

An “Enterprise system” means a software application or computer system that collects, stores, exchanges, and analyzes information that the agency uses that is both of the following:

• A multi-departmental system or a system that contains information collected
  about the public; and
• A system of record (a system that serves as an original source of data within
  an agency).
