The FINANCIAL — HP announced HP 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, according to Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
The trend in consumerization has indelibly marked the enterprise. Employees expect access to content from their device of choice, their enterprise apps to work intuitively and their experience to be seamless. IT organizations, in turn, are facing increasing pressure to deliver a marketplace experience that makes it easy for employees to find and install applications and content that drive workforce productivity, while maintaining enterprise security and controlling costs.
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.(1)
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, according to Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
