2. **Multi-Tenancy**: Ensure complete data isolation and tenant management
3. **Enterprise Security**: Validate SAML SSO, audit logging, and compliance features
4. **Scalability**: Test horizontal scaling and microservices architecture
5. **Production Readiness**: Validate monitoring, alerting, and operational capabilities
6. **Compliance**: Ensure GDPR, SOC2, and enterprise audit requirements
