Apperian to Showcase Mobile App Security and Management Innovations at Microsoft's Xamarin Evolve Event

BOSTON, April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Apperian® Inc., the mobile application management (MAM®) company, today announced that it's exhibiting at Xamarin Evolve, the largest cross-platform mobile event in the world hosted by long-time app development partner Xamarin, now part of Microsoft. The partnership has enabled Xamarin's mobile app developers to quickly and securely publish, inspect, secure and sign new apps and app versions to an entire organization for testing, piloting and full deployment.

Apperian's MAM platform helps Xamarin app developers significantly reduce the complexity that comes with deploying business apps. Deployment options are usually limited to public app stores, where apps are not secure, user targeting is difficult and the broad visibility of private apps is risky, or MDM app stores, where limited app management capabilities and prerequisites for having the device managed create a challenging experience for both admins and users.

Since Xamarin does not directly integrate security into the apps that are built with its tools, it relies on third-party tools such as Apperian to apply security policy and to streamline app deployment. This includes automated signing, security policies and integrated app inspection in order to securely deliver apps to end-users without the requirement of any device management or SDKs. Xamarin developers can now spend less time worrying about app security and publishing tasks, while delivering apps that have high levels of end-user adoption.

Any developer building mobile apps for their own employees, contracted workers, dealers or others in the extended enterprise can take advantage of the many benefits of using Apperian, including:

• Integrated app signing engine that allows organizations to simplify the management of signing certificates for distributing Xamarin apps in enterprise settings, including signing or re-signing iOS and Android apps for full enterprise distribution, or updating existing apps with new credentials
• 1-Click app publishing, security and distribution on a single platform for testing and deployment of iOS, Android and Windows apps
• Consumer grade private branded enterprise app store that thousands of organizations use every day to drive the highest levels of mobile app adoption and reach 100 percent of their targeted end-users
• User feedback capabilities and analytics to drive app improvements and app adoption
• Access to industry first app management open API platform that allows developers to take advantage of any combination of platform capabilities to plug MAM capabilities into existing infrastructure

Apperian's 2016 Enterprise Mobility Report found more businesses are employing enterprise apps, with 57 percent of all organizations surveyed offering two to 10 custom enterprise apps and 87 percent planning to expand their app portfolio in the next year. As organizations grow their enterprise app portfolios, automating the steps in the app management lifecycle will be key to increasing agile development and decreasing costs. Therefore, developers are turning to Apperian to simplify and streamline this process.

"We've seen an explosion of interest from the Microsoft community and we're excited to showcase our solutions at Evolve," said Brian Day, president and CEO of Apperian. "Our platform is a strong complement to traditional EMM platforms. We integrate directly with app development tools for seamless onboarding and we apply security and management policies directly to apps which enables us to deploy them to any device – whether managed by MDM or not – and without requiring app code modifications."
