Application Packaging Factory

Application Compatibility Testing, Remediation & Packaging Services

Application Packaging
Deploying desktops in an organization can be a daunting and costly endeavor. Most of your budget could be exhausted by simply maintaining existing applications with resources that are already fully burdened. This leaves little time and budget to test, remediate and deploy applications on that next-generation operating system everyone in your organization is waiting for. Application Packaging involves the preparation of standard, structured software installation packages for automated deployment. Application Packaging facilitates automated deployment of applications, provides flexible and effective change management, enhances security, and eases asset management. This results in reduced support calls & downtimes/outages, increased efficiency and reduced management costs.
