Alternatives to Apple App Store for enterprises
23 November 2010, 5:00 am

Last year, Curtis Cuozzo, manager of sales force automation at Talecris Biotherapeutics, sent out CDs with an internal enterprise iPhone app to a trial group of 60 sales folks. They were asked to follow a 15-step process that included loading the CD on their laptops, downloading the app to iTunes, and syncing with their iPhones. Cuozzo made lots of follow-up phone calls to see how they did. "We had about a 50 percent success rate deploying it through iTunes," he says. "It was a very cumbersome process."
