BMC Software on Tuesday introduced BMC Marketplace, a cloud-based app store for companies who want to deploy their own “Amazon-like” branded marketplace to market and sell private-label mobile, cloud, custom and desktop applications – twice as fast as any custom alternative.
App stores are very well known in the consumer world, and now their popularity is rapidly increasing in enterprise environments. Gartner recently predicted that 25 percent of large companies will deploy an enterprise app store by 2017, partially in response to the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement that is sweeping the workplace.
