User goals and features

BMC AppZone delivers the following features:

• An app management console for corporate IT to control the publishing and distribution of apps to end users (BMC AppZone store administrators can assign or revoke licenses and software)
• A curated business-focused app marketplace where companies can source third-party apps of their choosing
  • The app marketplace is curated with third-party apps starting with Android.
  • It is based on app categories and rankings from popular sites such as Google Play that are business focused.
  • Unlike consumer-oriented app stores, the app marketplace is designed for corporate procurement such as volume and PO processing.
  • Your company retains and controls the app licenses.
• Enables your BMC AppZone store administrator to create a private company app store with a catalog of apps built internally or sourced externally.
• BMC AppZone store administrators can also whitelist apps straight from Apple iTunes or other Android app stores.
• Once published, apps are scanned for viruses and can then be assigned to individual users or groups.
• In addition to mobile apps, Desktop and Cloud applications can also be assigned and managed from internal repositories or catalogs as well as external sources.
• LDAP and Active Directory is supported to simplify the onboarding of users as well as for access management.
• BMC AppZone store administrators can distribute apps to external users such as contractors, partners, and customers by inviting them into their company store.
• A BYOD-friendly private app store for users to access from their device of choice
  • Once your company app store has been set up, and app policies defined, the end users simply access approved apps through a secure private store on their device of choice.
