IT efficiency software provider 1E has released version 4.0 of its ‘app store’ for the enterprise ‘Shopping’.
With Shopping 4.0, users can schedule their own Windows 7 migration and select which applications to restore and install with their new Operating System, said 1E.
The company added that with Shopping 4.0, the IT department stands to save a significant amount of time tracking and installing applications, while at the same time maintaining control of the number of deployments and being able to black out certain days or hours if needed.
The app also features a self-service automation of the request, approval and delivery process. 1E has sold two million licences of Shopping worldwide.
1E CEO Sumir Karayi said Microsoft Windows 7 uptake in the business community has turned into a surge and is today one of the highest profile and most challenging IT projects for organizations.
Karayi added, "We’re delighted to announce the release of version 4.0 of Shopping, which brings enhanced flexibility to the product and cures two of the major headaches in a Windows 7 migration project – finding the best time to upgrade a user’s PC and ensuring that they retain the full suite of software they previously had.
"Users benefit from an enriched ‘app store’ experience with an improved and user-friendly interface, while the IT department is able to focus on delivering business value."
