AppClarity: provides a precise, straightforward view of the software installed and active across the enterprise, empowering organizations by delivering total visibility into their software estate. Automated processes measure application usage, reclaim unused or prohibited software and allow licenses to be redeployed as needed, turning the tables in favor of the customer in vendor audits, software compliance and license negotiation.

Shooping: is the app store for the enterprise that combines the on-demand user experience of consumer devices with the control, integration and automation needs of corporate IT. Scaling from one seat to hundreds of thousands, Shopping enables IT departments to automate software delivery to users in any location.
