Maidenhead, U.K.: Flexera Software has announced the latest release of AdminStudio Suite, the industry-leading unified Application Readiness solution for reliable packaging, virtualisation and management of Windows, Mac and mobile applications. In addition, the company unveiled the latest release of Workflow Manager, a Web-based end-to-end IT process management solution that tracks service-level agreements using out-of-the-box automation for change and asset management. Workflow Manager also standardises, coordinates and streamlines procurement, preparation, deployment, audit and retirement processes for engineers to get ahead of backlog packaging requests, and prepare for more frequent application update and migration projects.
AdminStudio Suite 2016 has added support for preparing Mac® applications for reliable deployment to JAMF Software® Casper Suite. These new capabilities will help organisations keep up with the increasing use of Mac computers in the enterprise and accelerated update and upgrade cadence.
“The client computing environment is increasingly driven by employee choice,” said Maureen Polte, Vice President of Product Management at Flexera Software. “IT is increasingly tasked with going beyond traditional personal computers to now support numerous Mac devices, and must manage applications in a cost-effective and productive manner across a diverse host of computers, laptops, bring your own devices (BYOD) and even wearables. Flexera Software is excited to help IT navigate in these complex environments, and adapt to the faster application release schedules they are faced with on a daily basis.”
“We leverage AdminStudio to keep pace with the growing demand for desktop applications,” said Paul Valente, IT Specialist at the Chicago Public School System. “Flexera Software is the industry standard for repackaging applications.”
“We deploy and test a majority of our applications with AdminStudio,” said Christopher Irish, IT Professional at Front Range Community College. “It is the easiest way to prepare for Application Readiness and is very feature-rich. I have used Flexera Software’s AdminStudio since version 11 and the improvements that have been included up to now, and the ease of use, is invaluable.”
“Many vendors and IT decision makers responsible for managing the delivery of high-quality IT services to corporate end users have several tools to support an increasing number of devices,” said Robert Young, Research Director of IT Service Management and Client Virtualisation Software at IDC. “Unified Application Readiness stands to bridge traditional IT silos, and address those issues for organisations – helping to deter employees from bypassing IT, and creating a more simplified and secure environment.”
