From automated patching to custom application packaging – we’ve got you covered.
In enterprise environments, not all software is created equal. While automated patch management solutions are great for keeping common applications up-to-date, they often fall short when dealing with custom, legacy, or highly specialized applications. This is where Apptimized Factory comes in — our expert-driven service designed to handle complex and custom application packaging with precision. — And for automated patching? We’ve got that covered too with Apptimized Care.
What is Apptimized Factory?
Apptimized Factory is a manual software packaging service where our experts follow your specific requirements and discovery documentation to create high-quality application packages. This service is ideal when dealing with non-standard or business-critical applications that require extra attention.
What is Apptimized Care?
Apptimized Care is our automated patch management solution, designed to keep mainstream applications like browsers, productivity tools, and collaboration software up-to-date. It provides:
- Speed
- Automation
- Ongoing patch intelligence and packaging
With both services, Apptimized ensures you’re covered from basic updates to the most complex deployment challenges.
Standard Patch Management: Great, but Limited
Standard patch management tools like Apptimized Care or other automated solutions are designed to cover mainstream applications — think browsers, Adobe products, Zoom, and similar widely-used software. They are:
- Fast and scalable
- Automated with a few customization options
However, these tools come with notable limitations:
- Limited support for custom business applications
- Inability to meet specific organizational packaging standards
- No manual testing or validation based on your IT environment
Why You Need Both
Standardized and custom packaging requirements often coexist in the same environment. Using both Apptimized Care and Apptimized Factory allows organizations to streamline routine patching while also addressing more advanced needs.
Apptimized Care is ideal for:
- Widely-used applications (e.g., Chrome, Adobe, Zoom)
- Regular updates and security patches
- Cost-effective, scalable patching
Apptimized Factory is ideal for:
- In-house or legacy software
- Complex installer setups
- Applications with strict compliance or configuration needs
Real-World Example
A European insurance provider needed to package over 350 legacy applications during a time-sensitive migration project. Many of these applications had custom installer scripts, outdated formats, and unique configuration requirements. Standard patching tools weren’t suitable for this task. Using Apptimized Factory, they received fully tested, customized packages within days — while Apptimized Care simultaneously kept their mainstream apps up-to-date.
Guaranteed Quality and Speed
One of the standout strengths of Apptimized Factory is our commitment to quality and efficiency. We guarantee that over 98% of packages are delivered right the first time, minimizing deployment issues and post-installation problems. This high success rate significantly reduces helpdesk tickets and ensures a smoother user experience.
Speed matters too — especially in fast-moving IT environments. That’s why all our packaging services are backed by clearly defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Whether you need urgent turnaround or a consistent delivery cadence, our team delivers with confidence and reliability.
The Best of Both Worlds
With Apptimized, you don’t have to choose between automation and customization. Apptimized Care delivers fast, reliable patch management for standard applications, while Apptimized Factory handles your unique packaging challenges with expert precision.
