Why Should My Business Choose Cloudpackagers?2024-04-24T14:25:16+00:00

With years of experience in the industry our consultants have worked in many diverse enterprise IT set-ups and have packaged many thousands of applications between them. Those packaging issues that have brought your internal IT team to a standstill: we’ve usually seen them before and have found a solution. Not only do we understand and master the full range of tooling and platforms found in enterprise application estates,  but our depth and breadth of experience enable us to identify solutions quickly. We offer a unitised, fixed-price approach to packaging and testing your applications. We can do this because we’re very confident that we can produce what you need much quicker and more cost-effectively than the alternative: taking on the greater cost and risk of onboarding permanent or contract staff sourced via generalist recruitment agencies (many of which do a poor job of vetting the real-world skill levels of the candidates they forward to you.)

Application Packaging Workflow

step one

data-driven audit & rationalization

Our process begins with a comprehensive audit of your application estate.

This exercise is executed both by automated tooling and standard human-led rationalization principles (e.g. reducing version bloat or highlighting insecure software), functional analysis, user attestation exercises.

By drawing data from all of your business’ configuration (AD/MECM/Intune/CMDB etc.) repositories we identify redundancies and opportunities for consolidation, ensuring only necessary applications are migrated and optimized, ensuring a lean, cost-effective starting point.

step TWo

application discovery

Once we have your application estate on a leaner footing, a meticulous discovery phase follows.

Using modern tooling much of this process can be automated. However, some legacy and bespoke apps will still require manual discovery.

Here we collaborate with your Application Owners, Managers, and End Users to document precise functional requirements.

This foundational work is critical for successful packaging and testing, creating a detailed blueprint that informs the entire migration process.

step three

packaging and deployment

Once we have a fully rationalized and documented estate we embark on packaging.

Using both RPA-driven automated packaging for simpler COTS applications and the skilled manual handling of time-served apps packaging experts for more complex applications, we work in tandem with your project teams to ensure apps are migration-ready for your users.

We can dovetail into the particular requirements of your project, whether you need a ‘packages only’ service or management of the full deployment and user testing workflow.
