Deploying applications: simplify deployment and updates The challenge: without automation, IT departments face a major time commitment to deploy and update iPhone and iPad applications. In addition, enterprise-only applications did not have a central source where users could easily update and maintain their own devices. Furthermore, the process of updating and downloading applications was a multi-process, a hassle for employees. Apperian created its EASE product to sol v e t h e s e deployme n t challenges. EASE aggregates, deploys and maintains a company’s entire mobile application catalog by creating an in-house intranet storage site for all company applications and updates. The server is a SaaS configuration using high-availability cloud services. Apperian supports authentication to everyone in your enterprise via your existing Microsoft Active Directory authentication system. This simplifies and streamlines a formerly complex process for both IT staff and users. IT staff can update one location and provide a self-service area for employees, which also reduces service requests. EASE also creates a simple, secure, self-service location for employees to find all in-house, and appropriate third-party, applications and updates to ensure that they comply with the enterprise standards. Finally, EASE reduces the update process for each application to only a few steps, saving employees time and headaches.
