Case Study: One of the World's Leading Centers for Discovery and Learning achieves secure, HIPAA-compliant mobile app review and streamlined deployment with Apperian

World's Leading Centers for Discovery and Learning - Customer Case Study

A leading private university with a large healthcare system was developing a wide range of mobile apps—by researchers, clinicians, students and staff—but lacked a formal process to distribute and vet apps during development, testing and beta stages. The environment was complicated by BYOD and multi‑device users, strict security, compliance and HIPAA requirements, and a multi‑stakeholder review workflow, yet the IT team needed a solution that wouldn’t divert engineering resources.

They implemented Apperian’s app‑centric private app store and mobile application management platform, integrating single sign‑on, device‑ and user‑specific certificates, and policy enforcement to control staged distribution to reviewers and test groups. Administration dropped to under 60 hours per year (saving roughly one full headcount), app deployment accelerated, reviewer and clinician productivity improved, and the university gained confidence that security and HIPAA governance were consistently applied.
