While investment and analysts debate just what the critical catalyst of their successes are, nearly everyone agrees on the ability to create products that deliver exceptional customer experiences (Brown, 2011). In addition, Apple has long been one of the most integrated companies within the network of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and engineers (Saxenian, 1991). Combining a unique new product development and design process with the intensive levels of engineering, social and technology-based connections throughout the industry has given Apple a defensible, highly profitable position in the industry. All of these factors are exactly what Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Directors of IT and Chief Financial Officers most evaluate when choosing a vendor to partner with for technology. Apple's financial strength, unique new product development process, focus on enterprise-wide system integration, and continued focus on device-level and network security have all helped the company to gain a strong position in the enterprise marketplace, also called Business-to-Business (B2B) (Kaneshige, 2011). Apple continues to innovate and aggressively pursue the enterprises market, even after the untimely passing of the founder, Steve Jobs, who led the company on a rapid journey to consumer markets (Vaughan-Nichols, 2011).
