How can you improve software deployment and ensure compliance?
Managing application usage through its entire lifecycle can be a time-consuming, complex and costly task. Basically, there are three aspects that need to be considered:
- Deployment – easily and quickly across diverse environments
- Security – control and protect your corporate apps and their data
- Software licenses – monitoring, reporting and re-harvesting of expensive licenses
Your users are familiar with app-stores, from iTunes to Google Play, and will be comfortable finding, downloading and using the apps they need. Introducing this level of self-service to your IT function will efficiently allow your users to browse, request and receive the software they need in minutes.
Benefits of Utilizing an App-store for Software Deployment
Forrester predicts that app-stores will become the main way for software deployment and for workers to obtain their applications. Implementing an enterprise app-store will:
- Enable fast and reliable access – to the apps that employees need
- Increase employee productivity – by giving access in minutes rather than days
- Tighten data security – with features that block and control apps
- Reduce IT costs – by automating the app request, delivery and management process
- Ensure compliance – by giving you control of what is installed and retired
