Salesforce.com’s recently launched Private AppExchange is a one-stop app shop for your company. This new corporate app store allows you to distribute any app, including web, mobile, and desktop (coming in 2014), to any device. Instant access to those apps can then be granted to employees, using a single identity.

Other features of the Private AppExchange include the ability to customize it, which drives employee adoption, and the option to choose any app category you like. These can then be sorted by role, department, and function. Branding with your company logo and banners is also easily done.

Here are five reasons you should consider implementing a corporate app store:

1. It’s how you become a customer company

A customer company is one that is deeply connected with its customers, employees, and partners, and through its products. A corporate app store supports this mission because it can help you connect with employees through apps.

2. It helps your company work faster

Putting a corporate app store in place allows your employees to be more productive by making the apps they use and need for their day-to-day jobs easy to find in a secure location.

3. It gives you access to a wealth of existing apps

As of October of this year, more than 2,000 apps have been added to the #1 enterprise app store, Salesforce AppExchange. These include apps for all departments and verticals. Some 70% of Fortune 500 companies have installed an app on AppExchange.

4. It’s what your employees want

Your employees are already used to apps making their personal lives easier, and tools like one-click install and common identity. Enterprise apps have been slow to catch up until now, offering decentralized locations that required multiple logins.

5. It’s available now

Salesforce customers have already built more than four million custom apps on the Salesforce1 Platform, the #1 cloud platform. After seeing the success and ease of use of AppExchange, our customers insisted that Salesforce also offer a Private AppExchange they could use in their own companies.
