Shopping™

The app store for the enterprise

The helpdesk can become a bottleneck with demands for new software deployments and services. Shopping empowers users to install software, operating systems and services at a time when it suits them without disrupting their daily workload. The self-service automation of the request, approval and delivery process means users can download the software and services from the enterprise app store within minutes and dramatically reduces the number of software requests that go through the helpdesk.
