Microsoft AppSource launched last year as a destination for organizations to find and try apps tailored to help transform their business—apps that work with the Microsoft products and technologies many of these businesses already use, such as Cortana Intelligence, Dynamics 365, Office 365, and Power BI.
Microsoft AppSource launched last year as a destination where organizations can find and try the right apps to help transform their business — apps that work with the Microsoft products and technologies that businesses already use, such as Cortana Intelligence, Dynamics 365, Office 365, Power BI, and more.
We launched Microsoft AppSource in July to provide business users with one destination to discover and try line-of-business SaaS apps critical to their organization — from those supporting role-based categories like marketing, finance and HR to industry-specific solutions for distribution, healthcare, manufacturing, government, retail and more.
As the responsibility for technology investments moves away from IT and into business units, we’re seeing an explosion in the market for SaaS apps. Quick, powerful and cost-effective, SaaS apps allow companies to dial in exactly the functionality they need, without heavy investments in infrastructure or lengthy implementation cycles.
Last week during the 2016 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC), I met with several partners to discuss Microsoft AppSource – our new destination to help business users find, try and use line-of-business SaaS apps from Microsoft and our partners. Users can also discover content packs and add-ins for Microsoft business apps, like Dynamics CRM, Power BI, and Office. Through AppSource, ISVs and other partners can reach a broad range of customers right where the users are and in a way convenient for them, either through the AppSource website or within the context of the Microsoft services they’re already using.
