ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corporation and a leading provider of enterprise IT management and security solutions, announced the launch of a partner-developer ecosystem through its ManageEngine Marketplace, where enterprises can discover and deploy extensions and AI agents for ManageEngine platforms, including integrations, add-ons, and plugins. The launch enhances ManageEngine’s robust platform capabilities, enabling organizations to address a broader range of enterprise needs with specialized extensions from its partner ecosystem.
“As software development becomes increasingly democratized through powerful AI tools, customers expect a secure, efficient, and agile way to extend the capabilities of their platforms. ManageEngine Marketplace enables developers to unlock possibilities beyond what ManageEngine builds natively while upholding the quality, security, and governance standards our customers trust us for,” said Rajesh Ganesan, CEO of ManageEngine. “We are excited to see our ecosystem of developers, partners, and customers innovate, collaborate, and grow through this initiative.”
