App developers, if you’re in Las Vegas this week attending IBM Impact 2012, be sure to put Wednesday’s WebSphere Unconference on your schedule. App47 CTO Andy Glover will be playing emcee (no word on whether he’ll be in black tie and tails), and joining along with several auspicious guest speakers including Grady Booch and Greg […]
It’s time to talk enterprise MAM, so after the groans for our bad pun die down (and with respect to the late greats Shirley Hemphill and Fred “Rerun” Berry) we invite you to check out the first episode of our new podcast: What’s ‘Appening!! – Conversations on Enterprise Mobility. Everyone wants to help define Mobile Application […]
We’ve all heard that urban legend about how municipal water departments experience massive system overloads during Super Bowl halftime. While the legends of poor employees scrambling to find shutoff valves are an exaggeration, there’s plenty of truth to the idea that more people are paying attention to something at certain times. This is why a […]
We’re still smacking our foreheads over the outright dismissal of the highly qualified crop of MAM providers that might be good candidates for purchase by Citrix in today’s brianmadden blog. Naturally, we’re predisposed to the merits of our own solution, but to claim you had not heard of any of the MAM providers mentioned (present company […]
The other week, we kicked off what proved to be a good discussion about BYOD.

Allow us to explain: We’ve just released an improved iteration of our mobile application lifecycle management platform (you can read the press release here for more details).

On April 18th, we’re hosting a timely mobile app privacy policy conversation with Morgan Reed, Executive Director for the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT), which represents more than 3000 small and mid-size app developers and information technology firms.

With the end of Q1, we were looking forward to a decent amount of traction with respect to our Mobile Application Management solution. When App47 got started, we considered ourselves the proverbial MAM David facing an overwhelming MDM Goliath (Not that we think it’s a zero-sum situation.
