We haven't actually done that yet. We did upload the Apple MDM cert to our Good server, but currently we're only using it to view the list of all applications installed on each iPad. Until we develop mobile apps in-house, we don't see the need for our own store. I can put you in touch with the Good engineer if you'd like to find out more about their model for that, though.

Kathy We're developing apps and have distributed some Ipads but I didn't know it was possible to set up our own "store." Can you give me a detailed walkthrough of how you do that using the Good software?? (Either by responding to the list if there's interest or to me personally?)

We're using the Apple Volume Purchasing Program for now (on GFEs). If/when we allow BYOD, I imagine we'll probably do the same. The Service Desk has an Apple ID they use to load and manage the software. With BYOD, we will need to make sure we can delete any government-purchased apps (thus freeing up the license for a different user) while not wiping the entire device.
We're using Good as our MDM. It lets us set up our own app store, but since we don't have any internally developed apps at this time, we aren't using that feature. The Good MDM does let us see all the installed apps (even outside of the Good sandbox) and I believe we'll be able to use it for the above-mentioned BYOD issue at some point, to actually manage them; for now we haven't really explored that.
Just as an FYI, we don't have GFE Androids as yet. Again, if we start
allowing BYOD, I think we'll end up with quite a few of those.

Great info, thank you.
How are you handling software? Has the organization figured out an efficient way to provide software that the organization needs users to have on their BYODs?
