A foundational tool that provides clarity and efficiency for your IT environment.
An app catalog is much more than a simple list of software. It’s a foundational tool that helps IT teams strike a balance between security and control on one hand, and user productivity on the other. It brings order to an organization’s IT environment by providing a centralized, approved source for all software.
1. Mitigate Security Risks
By creating a single, approved source for software, an app catalog helps prevent “Shadow IT”—employees installing unvetted, potentially malicious, or vulnerable applications. This closes a critical security gap and significantly minimizes the risk of malware and unauthorized software.
2. Streamline and Ensure Compliance
An app catalog provides an auditable record of all deployed software, making it much easier to meet compliance standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. This automated approach is more reliable than manual tracking and ensures that only sanctioned and regularly updated applications are in use.
3. Drive IT Efficiency and Automation
Manual software deployment and updates are time-consuming and repetitive. An app catalog allows IT teams to deploy applications with one click and automates the process, freeing up valuable time to focus on more strategic initiatives.
4. Elevate End-User Productivity and Experience
An app catalog provides a curated library of IT-approved applications that employees can browse and install whenever they need. This eliminates the wait for IT approvals, creating a frictionless experience that boosts productivity and employee satisfaction.
5. Ensure Consistency
By creating a single source for all approved software, an app catalog eliminates “software version sprawl.” This prevents compatibility issues and simplifies troubleshooting for IT, while ensuring a consistent and uniform software environment across the entire organization.
