THE FORRESTER WAVE™ MARKETPLACE DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS Q4 2024

Forrester noted AppDirect strengths in three key areas:

Strategy

Strategy

In the report, Forrester states that AppDirect exhibits across-the-board strategic superiority. It enables a wide range of use cases, including embedded app stores, telco sales reps, and managed service providers (MSPs).  

  • Its vision to enable the flywheel of subscription digital commerce for buying, selling, and managing recurring tech services is particularly strong. 
  • That vision is built for a world where the future of tech buying is more about a stack: a curated group of integrated, embedded, white-labeled technologies that together solve for a business outcome. 
  • In such a world, tech advisors, not single mega-vendors, help businesses of all sizes buy all of their stack components from one source.
