HP unveils mobile enterprise application catalog

NEW DELHI, INDIA: HP announced Access Catalog, an on-demand mobile content catalog that allows employees to instantly download applications and digital content across mobile and desktop devices, transforming the way enterprises deliver services to the mobile workforce.

"The new HP Access Catalog offers organizations a secure, private "app store" for employees to browse, search and download mobile applications and digital content onto their devices of choice, including mobile and tablets devices, as well as desktops. The catalog supports Android and iOS platforms, which comprised close to 94 percent of the mobile device market share in the third quarter of 2013," the company said.

"As organizations embrace mobility, they need a simple, secure and reliable mechanism to manage the delivery of apps to their employees. The HP Access Catalog provides enterprises with a robust, flexible and easy-to-use solution, making it easier for users to be productive on their device of choice," said Dragan Milanovich, VP, Web Services, Software, HP.

Delivered via native mobile clients and a web interface, the HP Access Catalog is a pure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering that helps organizations reduce the cost and complexity of managing applications on company-issued and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) mobile devices.
