We don't have a third party portal, what we do have is users who should be "working" and who find it difficult to distinguish between, shutdown, restart and log off.
The very thought of trying to explain to them there are two place to check for available software (App Cat & SC) is beyond us and them. We moved and hid Software Centre and elevated Application Catalogue, users were then trained to hit start and type "app" that gets them Application Catalogue or Appv - bingo.
