I don't much about available shareware GIS, but I rather recommend
to build a Enterprise GIS on Free GIS Software.

In fact 'the' Enterprise GIS does not exist. GIS is stongly component
oriented. Enterpise-Level components for Windows are e.g.: UMN
MapServer, PostGIS, deegree, uDIG.

The question whether it is possible or not is already answered ;-)
There are a number of companies delivering such solutions for many
years. DM Solutions and Refractions in Canada, Intevation and latlon
in Germany, to name just some of the veterans.

Best

	Jan
