Overview

AdminStudio provides enterprise IT teams with the most advanced solution to efficiently prepare reliable application packages for deployment with a complete suite of automated MSI packaging, customisation, testing and management reporting capabilities.

Software deployments and OS migrations are among the riskiest functions of IT. Deploying a poorly prepared or tested software package can crash mission-critical applications, slow productivity, and send help desk costs soaring.

AdminStudio automates application preparation to help ensure MSI packages deploy successfully with today’s most popular deployment tools. AdminStudio’s catalog forms a central repository for storing applications, enabling testing to eliminate application conflicts. A management reporting dashboard provides a continuous view of readiness to streamline migration planning.

AdminStudio is part of the AdminStudio Suite which powers an enterprise's Application Readiness process for migrations to Windows 7, application virtualisation and day-to-day application packaging operations.
