Mobile computing, the cloud, APIs and social networking are opening doors to new business models and connections across employees, customers and partners. However, they are also spurring a proliferation of disparate resources that are difficult to access and often disconnected from enterprises strategic initiatives, core operational systems, and corporate policies. WSO2 is addressing this challenge with todays debut of WSO2 Enterprise Store, the first complete platform for managing and provisioning any type of digital assetapplications, APIs, gadgets, e-books and other resourcesacross the entire enterprise asset life cycle.

By 2017, 25% of enterprises will have an enterprise app store for managing corporate-sanctioned apps on PCs and mobile devices, Gartner predicts in the report, Enterprise App Stores Can Increase the ROI of the App Portfolio1. The report continues, Enterprise app stores can make end users aware of low-cost in-house, open-source and commercial alternatives, creating more diverse and competitive automated software requiring less procurement intervention.

The 100% open source WSO2 Enterprise Store expands on the concept of the enterprise application store. It enables IT organizations to set up their own Apple or Google Marketplace-like store where business users and developers alike can easily discover and subscribe to not only applications, but also APIs, e-books, gadgets, websites and any other asset types the enterprise chooses to offer. Only WSO2 provides a socially enabled enterprise store, so users can rate and review assets. Meanwhile, back-office life cycle management and governance ensure compliance with corporate and IT policies and procedures.

Todays connected businesses are capitalizing on technologies, such as the cloud, mobile, APIs and social networking, to gain a competitive edge through new models of agility, business collaboration, monetization and efficiency. However, accessing the many diverse assets supporting these initiatives is often like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack, said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO. With the launch of our WSO2 Enterprise Store, organizations for the first time have a cohesive and comprehensive platform for effectively managing and accessing all of their digital assets while providing an intuitive, social consumer-like experience that fosters adoption.
