Packaging

ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE PACKAGING

Deployment is a daily occurrence for most organizations. Whether it's patches, upgrades, new applications, or Windows 2000/XP migrations, most organizations take an ad hoc approach, failing to prepare for integration into the enterprise environment. To view related white papers, click here.

CHALLENGES

Deploying applications and patches without adequate preparation introduces hidden problems, including:

• Unreliable rollouts that cause catastrophic crashes of mission-critical applications
• Unmanaged environments with no control over applications, processes, versions and licenses
• Non-standard configurations that raise the cost of maintaining PCs
• Unreliable applications that frustrate end users and cause help desk calls, ultimately reducing IT and end-user productivity

COMPREHENSIVE APPLICATION MANAGEMENT

Organizations that implement a structured approach to application preparedness spend more time up front engineering and documenting processes; however, they reap the benefits of reduced costs and more productive end users. Enterprise software packaging establishes a repeatable, scalable process for preparing applications for deployment. This process is categorized into logical, sequential phases that make the overall process easy to understand and follow. These phases are the basis of Wise Package Studio.
