According to the company, the solution is fully adapted to the needs of domestic corporations, since it was originally developed for their goals and objectives.

In 2022, due to the departure of world vendors and software suppliers from Russia, there was a danger that foreign services for the distribution of mobile applications would also leave the country, stop servicing Russian projects or seriously limit their functionality. In addition, many domestic corporations try to minimize the use of foreign software in their IT infrastructure for security reasons, as well as to comply with legislative norms and requirements. explained Anton Kazenyuk, CTO Globus IT

As of March 2023, most of the mobile applications developed in Russia are distributed on the Firebase assembly and gun distribution system, which provides functioning and paint. This resource is American, and there are reasonable fears that at any time it may be turned off in Russia.

= continued Anton Kazenyuk' Globus IT team began development of MP distribution service long before 2022 year, since this service has already been in demand among our large customers (backbone banks, state corporations and other companies that care about the security of their IT systems). And last year confirmed the importance and relevance of this project for the entire mobile development market in Russia.}}

As of March 2023, the MVP of the service was developed, two major releases were held. MVP functionality allows full distribution of the mobile application:

• project management
• user management
• support for iOS and Android assemblies
• support for assembly versions
• sending notifications to testers and other project participants when the next build appears
• automation - the ability to add automatic loading of the assembly into the system to the process of depletion or assembly on the project
• ability to distribute and store multiple applications
• the ability to search among applications by keywords

Distribution of Android and iOS assemblies is carried out both by links and by personal emails to mail.

In addition, the service is fully adapted to the needs of domestic corporations, since it was originally developed for their goals and objectives.

In the future, it is assumed that conversion calculation, metrics and other useful set of functions will appear on the platform. There is also the idea of ​ ​ creating a catalog of applications with age restrictions, moderation, censoring topics, analysis for virus software and open registration. In the future, it is possible to develop the project to an application store. told about plans Anton Kazenyuk
