Enterprise App Store: Choices
Getting the right software into the hands, or, more importantly, the devices, of employees is vital. Lifehacker offers three main choices for enterprise application store models: enterprise app stores, corporate portals and direct link downloads.
The enterprise app store is best for organizations with many purpose-built apps specialized for employees, vendors and other related people. Corporate portals are best when employees already have access to a secured corporate site. Direct link downloads are optimal when the number of apps used in the work environment is minimal.
The line between enterprise app stores and consumer app stores is not cut and dried. For instance, consumer app stores carry enterprise apps that are used in business, and have areas cordoned off for business.
For the most part, however, enterprise app stores have their own identity. Consumer app stores are notoriously porous. Organizations have far tighter control in their own app marketplaces. This is but one of the many advantages offered by enterprise app stores. This slideshow touches on the big issues affecting the enterprise application store sector.
