Big thanks to Cult of Mac blogger Ryan Faas for his recent post detailing the release of App47 Developer Edition, our free enterprise app store platform.

Here are some highlights:

The enterprise app store concept has been included in many mobile device manage (MDM) consoles that support iOS. These consoles plug into the management capabilities that Apple has offered since iOS 4 and can provision devices with security credentials as well as configure settings and restrict features for various security reasons.

MDM options are a great solution, but their licensing costs can be prohibitive to some small companies and may include feature sets beyond what an organization needs. For companies that fall into this category, including those using the basic MDM capabilities of the Profile Manager feature in Lion Server, App47 can be a solution.
