Our CEO Chris Schroeder snagged a guest post over at the blog of our friends Big Nerd Ranch. They asked him to talk about one of his favorite topics (besides lacrosse and computer science) — the diversity of enterprise mobile app store options that exist beyond the world of Apple and Android.
Those might be fine for consumer apps, but the demands of enterprise necessitate a different app store approach. To quote Chris:
“App distribution for the enterprise is a different animal. It needs to cooperate with diverse platforms, it needs to effortlessly push out the latest version and ensure adoption, and it often needs to operate within the parameters of a particular licensing limit.
This is where the advantages of your own, enterprise-owned app store are obvious. They become portals packed with an approved, updated, secure suite of apps. Employees know which apps they can use, they know they’re getting updated versions, and they know they are dealing exclusively with company-approved apps. This is especially significant in the face of today’s top-of-mind security concerns.”
