GetApp.com Aims To Become The Premier ‘App Store’ For Business Software

Today sees the public launch of GetApp.com, which aims to position itself as the leading vertical portal for software, SaaS and cloud-based business applications.

The premise of GetApp is fairly simple: offer (potential) professional IT services and software buyers a chance to browse and research business tools, give providers a low-cost way to be found in the directory, and guide both parties in getting the most out of the experience.

Today sees the public launch of GetApp.com, which aims to position itself as the leading vertical portal for software, SaaS and cloud-based business applications.

The premise of GetApp is fairly simple: offer (potential) professional IT services and software buyers a chance to browse and research business tools, give providers a low-cost way to be found in the directory, and guide both parties in getting the most out of the experience.

As a buyer, you can go to GetApp.com to find, compare and select from a wide range of business applications, organized into categories by IT and business need and by industry. The search functionality is pretty powerful and allows visitors to filter results down to a single vendor or enterprise-grade application.

To assist buyers from a neutral point of view, GetApp offers user-generated reviews and a free personalized assessment tool as well as a number of guides on the subject.

Application providers / ISVs can use GetApp.com to have their tools listed and potentially reach qualified buyers online, either for free or with more options at a premium. This freemium approach and the lead generation part of the equation is key to GetApp’s business model, although there’s some PPC advertising baked into the site as well.

At launch, GetApp.com features over 2,200 applications across more than 300 categories.

GetApp.com is part of Eurocloud, the Microsoft BizSpark Partner Network and the Sun Startup Essential community. Based in Barcelona, Spain, the venture was co-founded by Christophe Primault (former VP Global Marketing at NCR Corp, CEO at Fluiditi and Kinamik) and Manuel Jaffrin (former European Business Director at Sun Microsystems).

Over A Year After Android Launch, ShopSavvy Finally Comes To The iPhone

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan , ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone's camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much.
