seen this meme making the rounds the last day or so on twitter but haven't seen the actual answer...

They sell over-engineered & complex services to massive enterprises all over the world and have a network of consultants to provide assistance maintaining their software at those enterprises.

Another example of a corp like this is — SAP.
