Intel opens software marketplace for small businesses
Intel has set up an online store called Business Exchange that's meant to help
small and medium-sized business find software applications that runs on the
chip maker's hardware.
Unveiled Thursday, Intel's Business
Exchange zeroes in on four main product categories: security, storage, telecommunications
and business applications. Within each of these categories, users can find information
on various products, user-generated feedback and request a quote from vendors,
as well as leave their own feedback for others.
The site includes offerings from a range of software companies, such as Microsoft,
Salesforce.com, Symantec and Tripwire, among others, and will compete against
IBM's Global Applications Marketplace, a similar site also announced Thursday
that opens for business later this year.
Business Exchange includes a link to Intel's Software Exchange, an online shop
where users can purchase boxed software.
