The acquisition of applications giving users direct access to resources and functionalities without intermediary assistance is increasingly prevalent. An example includes obtaining a company’s mobile application directly from an app store or internal portal, enabling employees to manage their HR benefits independently.
This method of procurement offers several advantages, including reduced administrative overhead, increased user autonomy, and expedited access to vital tools. Historically, such access was often mediated by IT departments, leading to delays and inefficiencies. The shift towards direct acquisition reflects a broader trend towards user empowerment and streamlined processes within organizations.
