Application Deployment


Applications are the life blood of any business. Ensuring they are correctly configured and available, plus the ongoing deployment of updates, desk side visits, as well as new applications can be very time consuming. All of this draws your staff and resources away from more productive work.

Benefits of using Embrionic Why Not to Outsource


How Embrionic can help

Initially we can discuss your company's application lifecycle and how it currently works. We can then plan a clear way forward and how to apply your requirements to an improved process. Please read our Whitepaper on Application Lifecycle and Packaging Methodology for more information and recommendations.

Embrionic can also improve this situation by providing application packaging services. Our consultants will recommend what application settings your organisation requires where necessary and will then produce MSI or executable packages that can be deployed using your organisations current application deployment tools or we can help you implement one. Embrionic uses a number of industry standard packaging tools but recommend Wise Package Studio Professional.

When we package an application we provide a sign off ready package that has been fully tested and documented enabling you to manage and maintain it in the future. We will also run the Packaging project for you and can provide a test regime and recommended lab environment to ensure that end users can run their applications without any configuration issues.

Finally we can advise you on the best methods of delivering these applications to your users and have delivered projects that use our own Embrionic directdeploy™, Active Directory, Systems Management Server, LANDesk and Alitiris. Please read our Whitepaper on Application Delivery Options for more information and recommendations on some of these.

Why not to Outsource or Offshore

Many organisations have considered out-sourcing their packaging off site or even to another country. We believe this to be a false economy because:

  • Applications are packaged in a stand alone environment and cannot be tested against the customer environment, therefore the customer still has to handle 50% of the task

  • The customer needs to document everything before handing the application over to be packaged or the package will not work correctly. A large portion of the work therefore still needs to be carried out by the customer

  • Any applications that use back end systems will not be tested during the packaging process

  • Consultants will not be on site to provide advice and guidance or troubleshoot development issues
