Embarcadero Podcast: How Enterprise App Stores Help Drive Productivity

WEBWIRE – Wednesday, October 5, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Oct 5, 2011 — Embarcadero Technologies, a leading provider of software development tools, today released a podcast entitled: “How Enterprise App Stores Help Drive Productivity,” that analyzes the enterprise app store model as a way for companies to promote self-service IT while boosting overall productivity. The widespread adoption of smartphones and tablets in the enterprise is driving the trend towards the consumerization of IT. Yet, most enterprises are still struggling to supply end users with the tools they need to do their jobs in an efficient manner.

The podcast explores the role of enterprise app stores for PCs, software usage data and the changing nature of IT. Dana Gardner, principal analyst for Interarbor Solutions, moderates this enterprise app store discussion with panelists: Tony Baer, principal analyst for Ovum; Richard Copland, principal innovation consultant for Logica; and Michael Swindell, senior vice president of products and marketing for Embarcadero Technologies.

This podcast is based on the white paper “The App Store Model Comes to the Enterprise,” written by Ovum’s Baer. In the podcast, Baer explains that as IT departments try to contain costs and gain better control over software licensing and tooling, the enterprise app store model provides faster results. Copland discusses the social and economic impact of Embarcadero’s AppWave enterprise app store model, and Swindell discusses the importance of usage so organizations can determine where to invest in software.
