» Now» App Control facilitates user and service management across cloud solutions» Initial development encompassed Office 365 and Google Apps» Rapid update cycle – more than 10 releases since launch in April, 2014» Platform to simplify and accelerate integration of MAX with cloud services

App Control Adoption

Initial use for Google Apps, Office 365

» Office 365 adoption much greater than Google Apps» Google Apps not as prevalent in Europe as in the US

App Control – Cloud Storage Apps

Forthcoming support for cloud-based file storage and sharing services

title, owner, last updated, file size» View & edit sharing policies on files or

folders» Alert on file sharing policy violations» Transfer ownership of a file from one

user to another» Other providers (Dropbox, etc.) may also

be added over time

App Control – Finance & Accounting Apps

Later we’ll focus on financial services like FreshBooks & QuickBooks Online:

» Set up users and enforce basic settings » View key account details» Report on user activity and time tracking» Track unbilled time

Other categories being considered include CRM, IT Ops, Project Management, and HR applications
