It’s another momentous day for Appdome! Today, we announced that Appdome joined the AppConfig community, reinforcing our mission to speed the creation of enterprise-ready mobile apps for everyone!
This is a big win for everyone in mobile. Our platform launched in October 2016 and we went GA in February 2017. Since then, we’ve been getting great traction and have become a known vendor in mobile integration. Based on the feedback from analysts, EMM SDK vendors and ISVs, the timing was right for Appdome to join on AppConfig. Thanks to everyone for supporting us!
What is the AppConfig Community?
The AppConfig Community is comprised of leading EMM providers and app makers that have come together to create a secure mobility standard for managed devices used in business. The community’s mission is to streamline the adoption and deployment of mobile enterprise applications by providing a standard approach to app configuration and management. The community builds on the app security and configuration frameworks available in mobile OS platforms. You can learn more about the AppConfig Community here.
What do we like about AppConfig?
For ISVs that want out of the box solution for MDM, AppConfig covers a wide range of use cases. For example, the AppConfig standard includes data at rest encryption, copy paste clipboard prevention, jailbreaking etc., which are common security requirements for enterprises. So ISVs implementing AppConfig standards will make their apps compatible with MDM providers and enhance their ease of use.
