According to the company, companies usually use foreign services Google Play Store and App Store to publicly post their corporate applications. For large companies, the number of applications can number dozens, each of which is designed to solve a specific problem and is intended for its target group: physical or legal entities, VIP clients, for medium and small businesses, etc. However, on public platforms, all these products are placed in a chaotic order, mixing with applications of other companies similar in meaning or name. This makes it much more difficult for clients to find the desired application and can lead to the installation of incorrect services. Along with these products, malware can also occur on platforms, which poses threats to user information security and reputational risks. companies.

When developing the mobile application distribution platform, IW Group specialists took into account the above points. The IW Store is a "boxed" solution that is deployed on the enterprise's own servers, which means it becomes an integral part of its infrastructure. The main functionality of the software complex is to aggregate all the company's services in one system, which allows preventing the placement of similar applications, especially malicious ones, within the same platform. When installing the platform on a smartphone, the client gets access to correct and reliable information about all applications of the company in a single space. Thus, the IW Store changes the very client path to services, making it safer and more transparent - both for the user and for the organization. Using the IW Store software package, the company neutralizes all reputation risks, and also gains convenient control over the distribution of applications through the integration of client databases. In addition, the enterprise can open access to the platform to its partners to host their applications. After that, the company's customers will immediately see them on the IW Store and will be able to use all additional partner services.

By installing the IW Store at their facilities, Russian companies receive their own platform, which is especially important in the light of import substitution and the resolution of the issue of sanctions. So, using the system from IW Group, domestic companies will be able to avoid the risks of a sudden shutdown of access to Google Play Store and App Store services, which in turn may lead to a halt in business processes and communications.

The product is intended for distribution of public applications to an unlimited range of users. At the same time, the number of mobile applications posted on the platform is also not limited. The solution also involves in-house installation, which allows companies to independently manage the installation, organization and use of the product. The company itself determines the procedure for replicating and controlling the distribution of applications, including group visibility policies. In addition, the platform is implemented according to the white label model - by purchasing the IW Store, the company can choose its own name for it.

We are pleased to announce the entry into the market of our IW Store mobile application distribution platform. With this solution, customers can optimize and control the distribution of enterprise mobile applications. With the IW Store, customers will not need to take care of the risks of removing applications without notice or due to sanctions. The risks of corporate information leakage will be minimized, since the distribution platform is designed for deployment on internal customer servers. In this regard, the IW Store software complex will be another important step towards the import independence of Russian companies. It is also important that minimum system requirements are required to install the software. Our product is included in the register of domestic software. commented Alexey Sinitsa, President of IW Group

The IW Store includes a role-based platform management model, which is different from its peers and provides efficient application store management. The system provides roles of various levels: platform administrator, operator and application area administrator, information security employee, several types of users. The owner can group application users at his discretion and build multi-level access for all categories of users, while leaving the management and control of the distribution of corporate applications to himself.

IW Store functionality allows companies to conduct IT and business monitoring of application parameters hosted on the platform. The application scope administrator can track all the product metrics he needs: the number of installations and inputs, the dynamics of application ratings, etc. Feedback from users is also available to him. In addition, the IW Store includes monitoring tools that allow you to block suspicious activity. As for security, when creating an automated system, IW Group primarily took into account the need to preserve corporate customer data. Information security specialists of the enterprise have the opportunity to connect the platform to internal security systems of the organization: DLP, AVPO, audit.
