Lenovo launches enterprise app shop offering mobile app services to large businesses

Telecom Lead Asia: Lenovo has launched its first
enterprise app shop offering mobile app services to large businesses.


The app shop enables custom management, deployment and
publication as well as volume pricing. Corporate users can access and use
productivity apps on their Lenovo tablet or other Android-based tablet.


“With the influx of personal and mobile devices in
the workplace, it’s critical for companies to manage the proprietary and
third-party applications their employees are using,” said Mark Cohen, vice
president, Ecosystem and Monetization, Lenovo.


Lenovo created an app shop designed for the enterprise
featuring LDAP integration and cross Android platform support to facilitate IT
management while giving users the apps they’re demanding to boost productivity.


Lenovo claims that its App Shop Manager solves security
risks by allowing companies to create their own customized App Shops. IT
managers can purchase, license, distribute and manage approved applications for
the end user. Lenovo App Shop Manager controls only the apps, not the device,
like other mobile device management solutions.


“The distribution and license management of
applications for the classroom is simplified by the Lenovo Enterprise App Shop;
eliminating factory resets and streamlining app installation. We were up and
running quickly and the App Shop Manager is very intuitive and easy to
use,” said David Gannon, associate director, Academic Computing &
Media Services, Bryant University.


Modeled after the self-service consumer app shops, Lenovo
App Shop Manager makes it simple and convenient for end users while
simultaneously minimizing cost and complexity for IT staff. Additionally, as a
software-as-a-service cloud hosted solution without infrastructure and support
required, it offers a low cost of ownership.
