That's a great article, but I'd like to add that SMB / Enterprise isn't a strictly binary demaracation with clearly defined boundaries. It's more of an analog continuum where lumping a given company into one bucket or the other is somewhat probabilistic.

Eg, a 500 person company and a 32,000 person company are both over the stated threshold of250 employees for "SMB", but the 500 person company and the 32,000 person company may behave quite differently.

I think this article covers some related ground and may be of interest here:
