Although less destructive, offering web users right click is like offering them keyboard shortcuts: you're counting on them to interact with your website uncommonly. While you may find a few power users who appreciate the enhancement, far fewer users will notice such a feature in the same way they might notice Search, RSS, or Contact for instance.
With that said, right-click in a browser-based applications has potential if: a) it does not contain essential interactivity b) is clearly communicated to the user c) is available by other means (e.g. button, hyperlink) Adding enterprise to the equation is a bit different as that is an acutely targeted demographic. If the application is built for a specific company, the company has the option to educate their users directly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
