The business models in enterprise have changed pretty dramatically. A huge problem with enterprise software traditionally has been usually you sell to the customer and then they adopt the technology.

Amazon is pursuing something called Amazon Key, which lets its couriers unlock Prime customers' doors and deliver packages.
