How to publish applications for iphone enterprise developer program?

Question

I'm developing an iPhone application for a company, they do not want to publish the app to the app-store. So, i have enrolled with iphone enterprise developer program with 299$. My question is how to distribute App to internal company employees without registering their UDIDs? Do i need to send modified .app file with provision profile to individual App user through mail to install this iPhone application? I`m familiar with IOS developer program but the iPhone Enterprise Developer Program is designed not to allow you to publish apps to the App Store. So can anyone please suggest me that How to distribute the app to our company employees and how an updating this same app works ? I have seen some answers related to this but it was not clear.

Thanks in advance.

If you build and sign your application with the enterprise distribution In House certificate, you do not need the UDID of any device. The .ipa will install on any device. You must ensure when distributing the application that the file is not share to non employees.

We actually used "Over the Air distribution". You can host your app on a dedicated server protected with user access and employee can install the app by opening a simple URL in Safari on the iPad. More info in the official documentation:

Actually when you archive in XCode and then choose distribute, if you choose distribute "Save for entreprise or Ad Hod deployment" it will generate the files you need to put on the server at the end. Just tick the "Save for Entreprise Distribution" in the "Save as" window at the end.
