What do you mean by "on-demand software"? (Or, for that matter,
"enterprise documentation set" and "enterprise software company"?)
The appropriate documentation for software depends on who its users will
be and what functions it performs.
You might want to ask the Techwr-l list
(lists.techwr-l.com/mailman/listinfo/techwr-l), which is a forum better
suited to general technical writing questions.
