A special app for hotel environments? A lunch app that can be used to book lunch in the canteen without having to leave your desk? A time tracking software app? The myApps development environment provides a convenient framework for app developments that guarantees basic parameters, such as universal use on any device or high security standards. Development partners can access the programming interfaces (APIs) which innovaphone itself uses for all apps developed in-house. Developers can exchange information with both the developer community and the manufacturer in the innovaphone developer forum. “The basic idea of myApps can be seen in our App Store: The idea of an open platform which thrives on intensive exchange amongst development partners and their active participation. With each new app, innovaphone myApps becomes even more versatile and each new app provides additional functionality for our customers. We supply the construction kit to enable this”, explains Dagmar Geer, CEO, innovaphone AG.
innovaphone offers various models for monetising apps, ranging from free apps to distributing them with innovaphone licences via the innovaphone sales channel. All apps can be downloaded directly from the innovaphone App Store.
byon is among the first app developers to market a partner app in the innovaphone App Store with a number of newly developed apps. Udo Thermer, Managing Director of byon, is enthusiastic about the parameters that innovaphone offers app developers: “All basic functions as well as interfaces and libraries are included and APIs are provided for all core functions. This means you can concentrate entirely on the functionality of the application. The fact that you don’t have to take care of marketing yourself afterwards is another added value. There’s no easier and more convenient way to develop an app.”
