Numerous studies have shown that workers are spending too much time at work trying to find, gain approval, download and install applications. Many companies have different points of access for different kinds of apps — an approach both IT professionals and employees find confusing and frustrating.

Rapid acceleration of BYOD and overprovisioning of corporate apps pose immense management and risk-related challenges for IT departments.

Unlike mobile device management (MDM) solutions that focus on the device profiles and device level security, BMC AppZone securely controls the distribution of apps based on policies, user permissions and roles. In addition, it is designed for multiple application and content types, not just mobile apps, across a variety of end-points from mobile to desktop.

Enterprise AppZone ensures app security through virus detection and digital authentication. End-user access to apps is managed using roles-based access control (RBAC) at the user and group levels so that users can only view and access the apps they have been assigned. Application and data wipe is also employed when a user changes job roles or an event such as device loss is triggered.

BMC AppZone provides end users with the applications they need while allowing IT to manage corporate policies and procedures. By addressing both end user and IT needs, BMC AppZone helps companies deal with the consumerization of IT.
