Blue Turtle releases Flexera Software App Portal 2015

Universal enterprise app store for desktop and mobile apps and integration with IT service management greatly simplify IT service delivery.


Johannesburg, 05 Mar 2015

Blue Turtle today announced the general availability of a new version of Flexera Software App Portal that standardises application service delivery with other service catalogue processes through integration with IT service management solutions.

App portal is the first universal enterprise app store, with unified application self-service across environments - from desktop to mobile. It ensures a positive IT services experience, by enabling employees to request apps for all their devices from a single store, using a single request that triggers all necessary processes behind the scenes to ensure efficient fulfilment and IT governance."

In addition, App Portal 2015 is optimised for use on mobile devices, giving employees simplified access to approved mobile apps directly from their mobile device. Employees can browse, select and check out corporate approved mobile apps from their Apple or Android device.

Getting the most out of any technology solution means making end-user interaction as seamless and intuitive as possible - mobile access and developer engagement are important building blocks for businesses focused on growth in the application economy. "The breadth of Flexera's App Portal can benefit forward-thinking organisations. At Blue Turtle, we believe providing access from the new favoured device or e-mail client is key and will help ensure organisations realise their maximum value," said Simon Shaw, Business Development Manager of Blue Turtle.

"Employees want the ability to request an app once and use it wherever they work - on their desktops, tablets or mobile phones - without having to go to each of their devices and request the same app over and over again. They want immediate access, and don't appreciate that behind the scenes, a very complicated request has been triggered for IT to fulfil," said Maureen Polte, Vice-President of Product Management at Flexera Software. "App Portal is the first universal enterprise app store able to centralise and manage those back-office processes, making 'request once, fulfil anywhere' a reality."

Mobile application management support

* Universal enterprise app store for desktop and mobile apps
