Tailor the enterprise app store experience for employees so they see only the items they can order, and alternative items and prices are provided, allowing them to make informed decisions. In addition, they can search for apps and even get recommendations for installation on other devices, giving employees the ability to request an application once and place it on a desktop, tablet, and phone at the same time. With support for enterprise apps and built-in Apple iOS and Android apps, as well as desktop and cloud apps, a quick checkout process automates deployment. The Application Portal gives administrators extensive control over who can order items from the online store: software orders can come directly from the business user, requested by the user's manager, or by third parties such as technical support.
