English term or phrase: ultimate definition of insanity in this business
If you look at most of the enterprise application vendors, they don't have a platform that is tightly integrated into the application. They have a platform that is either not open, not broad enough, or they don't even have a platform. If you look at Siebel, they need to build to three different platforms, which is the ultimate definition of insanity in this business. Or if you look at Oracle, they have a platform and applications, but they are not built one on top of another, so you don't get the benefit of TCO that comes from putting the two together.
看看主要的企业应用提供商,他们并没有和应用紧密集成的平台,他们的平台要么不开放,要么不完备,或者根本就没有平台。看看Siebel,他们需要建立三个不同的平台,???。或者再看一下Oracle,他们有一个平台和诸多应用,可是(这些应用)却没有依次建立,所以无法获得通过两者配合所能达到的TCO好处。

看看大多数的企业应用提供商,他们并没有紧密整合应用的平台,他们的平台要么不开放,要么不够宽度,或者根本就没有平台。看看Siebel,他们需要在三个不同的平台上建构应用,这对本行业而言「真是疯狂到了家」。或者再看一下Oracle,他们有一个平台和诸多应用,但却没有依序把一项应用建构在另一项之上,因此得不到把平台搭建在应用之上所能获得的降低总体持有成本 (TCO, Total Cost of Ownership) 的好处。

Explanation:
insanity在医学上是一种精神病状态,患者往往对自己的行为不负任何责任。

故猜想ultimate definition of insanity in this business不妨简单译为软件行业中典型的疯子行为或彻头彻尾的非理性做法。
