The guys have just entered the tablet market and already Lenovo has announced their own ‘specialty’ app store. An app store that allows business owners to build their own app store for their employees.
IT managers can purchase, license distribute and manage applications for the users that registered their Android 3.1+ device with the company. The app store only allows control and distribution over apps, not the devices themselves. Also, IT managers will be able to buy apps with volume discounts.
“With the influx of personal and mobile devices in the workplace, it’s critical for companies to manage the proprietary and third-party applications their employees are using,” said Mark Cohen, vice president, Ecosystem and Monetization, Lenovo. “We created an app shop designed specifically for the enterprise featuring LDAP integration and cross Android platform support to facilitate IT management while giving users the apps they’re demanding to boost productivity.”
The app store is now available through Lenovo sales is all markets except China.
