Enfocus Appstore takes off

Print Solutions

Last month, Enfocus announced the availability of its Appstore, a co-creation platform where users and developers of Enfocus Switch could share their knowledge and work. Today, after only a month of operation, the Appstore has quickly become the go to resource for this community.

New apps are being added to the store daily and Switch users from around the world are downloading them to solve business problems. Less than one month after the release of the Enfocus Appstore, the first apps have already been sold.

The Switch Community is comprised of Switch specialists – including users, integrators and channel partners – from around the globe. At the Enfocus Appstore, users can access applications that were developed by this community. Users can view information for each available app, including details about the app, compatibility and version information, the name of the creator, screenshots and a link to the support offered by the creator. If a user is interested in an app, he or she can download it and try it free for one month. If he or she likes the application, it can be purchased on a subscription basis.

Bjorn Willems, director of product management at Enfocus, said: ‘Users of Switch now have a valuable resource where they can exchange ideas and technology to improve their businesses – and they have themselves to thank for it. We always knew this was a powerful, connected group of users and the pace of activity at the Enfocus Appstore clearly demonstrates that point. By drupa, the Appstore will host close to 50 apps, each providing a solution to a specific business challenge. All of us at Enfocus are excited to be at drupa and to show the industry what can be created by the power of community.’

At the store, there are a range of apps that support different aspects of the flow – from apps that help manage XML files to apps that can look up data in a CSV file. The range of applications that is available and the fast pace at which apps are being added, mean that users are able to find solutions to some of their most specific workflow challenges.
