The Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) is an extended variant of the Rational Unified Process and was developed by Scott W. Ambler and Larry Constantine in 2000, eventually reworked in 2005 by Ambler, John Nalbone and Michael Vizdos.
EUP was introduced to overcome some shortages of RUP, namely the lack of system support and eventual retirement of a software system. So two phases and several new disciplines were added to the RUP.
EUP sees software development not as a standalone activity, but embedded in the lifecycle of the system (to be built or enhanced or replaced), the IT lifecycle of the enterprise and the organization/business lifecycle of the enterprise itself. It deals with software development as seen from the customer's point of view.
