Inform - Springtime!

For your software portfolio to get fresh and stay Evergreen, you need to be in the know about your estate. Apptimized monitors your applications and operating systems for updates and vulnerabilities…so you don’t have to.

Apptimized continually analyses and consolidates multiple sources of industry data so we can let you know instantly when any one of more than 250 applications in your portfolio has been updated by its vendor or have known vulnerabilities.

We monitor over 250 products, adding new ones all the time, helping you keep your applications estate current, secure and compliant contributing to the vision of ‘evergreen IT’.

Simply tell us with a click in your browser which of our monitored products you’d like us to monitor, and we’ll email you the moment the vendor releases an update to that product or when an exploit becomes known to the public.

 

Test - Red button and green light

With Apptimized Evergreen, validating your estate against changes will be like driving a high-speed train: Signals will be green most of the time, and if not, you will be informed ahead of time.

With your Evergreen strategy being challenged by Windows as a Service and self-updating apps, you need to embrace continual change, testing and deployment, but focus on things that matter. With the help of a “big red button” automate everything not directly related to knowledge work such as the deployment of test environments and doing the testing legwork. Don’t waste time and money on redoing the same things over and over again, on maintaining complicated test environments – or on avoiding to get even started.

See life as a green light and keep moving forward only unless directed otherwise. Not the other way around. From your browser.

 

 

Fix - Get the job done

With change comes issues, that’s inevitable. With Apptimized Evergreen, fix those issues in next to no time – either yourself with our powerful self-service options, or let us deal with them via our reliable managed services.

To get and stay Evergreen, don’t wait until a small problem gets big. Fix issues found immediately, whether these were created internally or by your software vendors. And yes: even in times of DevOps, every new application update released by your internal developers or 3rd party vendors constitutes an issue for IT operations in the first place which they need to carefully prepare for release.

Preparing new apps, updates and patches for deployment to your users running Windows has never been easier: Document your installation requirements, package vendor media for automated deployment and perform sign-off testing all within the Apptimized platform in the cloud. Pick the delivery model that suits you: self-service performed by your team or partners, managed service performed by us, and combine them as needed.

Run - Get and keep going

When you’re done with efficiently preparing your apps for deployment, there is no reason to be outbraked by manual hand-offs to your SCCM or Intune.

With deep integration into your SCCM or Intune infrastructure simply populate your Apptimized packages to SCCM and Intune with a click of a button. Apptimized will create all the needed properties with all the details needed for instant and successful deployment.

Service & Support

Apptimized is fully supported. Your primary means of support is the online chat facility accessible from every screen in the system.

We stand behind our packages!

If there’s something wrong with one of your packages, we will do everything we can to make it right.

That’s why we warranty our packages for 90 days after they are made available.

Our service level agreement (SLA) is our commitment to giving you the highest standard of customer service, support and care – guaranteed.

As part of our quality assurance, we carry out extensive testing of the packages created.

After the application is automatically installed on a suitable test device, the following checks are performed:

  • Compliance with formal criteria of packaging guidelines
  • Basic test of application and installation functionality
  • Installation of the software product via Deployment Tool
  • Launching the application in several user contexts
  • Test basic functionality of the application (if possible)
  • Test the repair functionality
  • Test the upgrade functionality (if required)
  • Test uninstall routine.

Established 2003

Apptimized has been a leading supplier of application packaging services since its inception in Potsdam, Germany, in 2003 as Revacom.

In that time we’ve supported hundreds of the world’s largest businesses across all sectors including the likes of PwC, UBS, Coca-Cola, AXA and Computacenter.

Our mission from the outset has been simple: to simplify the traditionally complex and resource-intensive packaging process to provide an improved customer experience through the pioneering use of leading edge technologies and the continuing industrialization of processes.

Automation & AI

Since the day we launched in 2003, Apptimized has been known for innovating and staying ahead of the curve. That tradition is continuing with a number of exciting developments.

We are focused on achieving 100% packaging automation. We believe that ultimately it will be possible to deliver a fully automated service delivering customized packages based on project settings. For all applications.

This will be a game changer.

Inherent in this is the work we are doing on what we’re calling ‘RoboBoss’ – our Artificial Intelligence ‘detective’ which will analyze input automatically and determine the best way of delivery.

This will deliver self-service support with inbuilt predictive analytics giving customers a future view of upcoming problems in their applications estate, including remediation recommendations.

The algorithm learns how to resolve issues automatically by observing and replicating human behavior making our Apptimized Packaging engine smarter every single day. For tasks which are not yet fully automated, a Robo-boss will find and assign the best resource to complete the job.

On top of that we’re developing ‘driverless testing’ – giving customers absolute confidence that all future versions of the same software will function 100% of the time without any additional effort.

This is going to be especially exciting in the world of Windows 10 as enterprises have to work out how they efficiently, quickly and accurately stay on top of Microsoft’s Semi Annual Channel update process.

And that’s just the tip of the innovation iceberg.
