Innovation in Application Packaging !!!
Hi everyone,
We are constantly asked by Customers to show some innovation in the field of Application Packaging & SCCM Deploymnet. We are using Flexera admin studio 11 for packaging & SCCM 2007 . We have designed some diagnostic tools but still the customer wants more related to Packaging & Deployment. This should be more in terms of a Service Improvement Plan (SIP) or Service Transformation Plan (STP) which will showcase $ savings. Can anyone suggest Technical innovations that have been implemented in Application Packaging & SCCM at the Customer end. Any help especially with respect to Application packaging will be highly helpful & appreciated.
Regards,
Harie

Packaging and Deployment have been around for years, and improved upon over that time - I'm not sure what you could bring in to radically save £.
Are you using AdminStudio to its full potential?
*Virt Pack for App-V / Thinapp? Create the package once and save to multiple virtualisation technology formats.
*Integration into SCCM directly from AdminStudio to reduce deployment setup times?
* App Compat Pack for compatibility readiness for your next desktop OS migration
* App Portal for self service app store
There are other products out there that do similar things - have you looked into those too.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree with regard to your requirements? - dunnpy 11 years ago
The same thing goes for deployments. The "latest" innovation would be the shopping cart, but that has been readily available for years in most mainstream deployment tools.
If your customer is asking for something new without specifying what they're looking for, they're out of luck. It's like asking for something innovative from your chewing gum - it's already lived its full development circle. - vjaneczko 11 years ago
You could consider working with your client to fase in SCCM2012 and AdminStudio 2013. For someone desperately seeking innovation these tools form 2007 and 2011 must seem obsolete by now. This opens up the option of process integration, AppV5 support, some nice user centric application deployments (AppPortal) and other fancy stuff. But this only helps if this is what the customer really feels they need.
Best option I guess is take the issue out of the operational environment and try to partner with them on a more strategic level. Discussing their 'pains and aches' and how to alleviate them. Good luck! - EVEEN 11 years ago
