You Can’t Migrate What You Don't Know

Assess

Before you start any upgrade or migration project, you need to have a clear picture of your application portfolio, infrastructure, business processes and software, and know what you have versus what you need. Not always a simple thing to achieve with businesses typically suffering from severe application bloat.

  • Audit your entire application estate
  • Build a single view of all your applications
  • Analyse application view and apply criteria
  • Map allocation to users and devices
  • Identify candidates for rationalisation

Application Audit & Rationalisation enables you to audit your application estate then review and rationalise applications ahead of performing other activities, so you only take forward applications you still need. It is also a good practice that helps to minimise vulnerabilities on your devices and to save money.

To benefit from new technology

you need your applications to work

Modernise

When adopting modern workplace technologies, you can’t assume that existing applications will work. Understanding this compatibility is critical so that a remediation plan can be established to test and repackage applications into the correct packaging format so that they work on any optimised environment or device.

  • Application Compatibility & Testing – assessing installation and configuration so you know and can prioritise which applications need updating

  • Application Packaging – packaging or sequencing an application into a modern format such as MSIX or Intune wrap

  • User Acceptance Testing – managing the process to ensure that the application works functionally as expected on the target operating system

Having a clear plan for modernising applications is vital in adopting new technologies and delivering exceptional user experiences, but to do this you need to understand application compatibility and how business critical they are so as to prioritise, manage and deploy them in line with business workloads.

It’s not a one off.

Ongoing management will keep you efficient & secure

Manage
