Spiceworks today debuted the Spiceworks App center and formalized its developer program.
The App Center will allow IT professionals to find, research and purchase free and for-fee apps and cloud services directly from Spiceworks. By formalizing its developer program, independent developers and technology brands including Microsoft, Lenovo and IBM will be able to offer free and paid applications to IT professionals within the network.
“Millions of IT professionals already rely on Spiceworks for the technical information, peer feedback and vendor connections they need to make an informed purchasing decision,” said Scott Abel, co-founder and CEO of Spiceworks. “The new App Center takes the Spiceworks experience one step further by streamlining how 6 million IT professionals research, buy and use IT apps and cloud services.”
New, free apps will be available later this year and paid application support will begin in Q1 2015.
