Building new app marketplaces is the business of AppDirect. They are allowing companies to create instant app marketplaces for their customers. Actually there is an entire ecosystem to these app marketplaces though. From the app developers themselves who want their apps in these marketplaces, to the companies wanting to offer the marketplaces, this is a far reaching ecosystem.
When you think about it, it is not just a list of apps. Billing, management and updates are all part of the equation.
I had a chance to sit down and talk with Daniel Saks, co-founder and CEO, AppDirect, Jonathan Rende, Vice President of product, Appcelerator, Mike Borozdin, Director of integration development, DocuSign. These three companies are all blazing trails in delivering cloud based and mobile apps.
It is an interesting conversation, running about 20 minutes. There was a slight audio problem when introducing Daniel Saks, but that is just a few seconds. Enjoy the podcast!
