Enterprise Consulting - Wise

Do you recognize inefficiencies in your repackaging process but don't know how to fix them? Are you considering hiring Altiris Consulting Services for a longer engagement, but first want to see what the consultant recommends? Consider Best Practice Repackaging.

Best Practice Repackaging analyzes your organization's repackaging processes from application request through release management. Our exhaustive knowledge and experience with Wise products, repackaging best practices, and industry standards enables us to provide these services. We develop documented recommendations and work with you to establish a customized set of corporate processes that:

• Align your organization with industry practices
• Improve efficiency by streamlining processes
• Reduce the risk of repackaging errors
• Improve the number of reliable, error-free installations

We help you prepare for the service with the best practice checklist, providing a way to document goals, deployment methods and other important information. An Altiris consultant spends four to five days at your organization interacting with key people and examining your existing setup and workflow. The consultant may also observe repackaging efforts, including your Wise Package Studio® setup on the client and server machines, to adequately assess the environment and current repackaging practices. After assessing practices and working with your team, the consultant prepares a best practice report for you.

Application Management Process Assessment

Implementing changes that affect applications in your business environment can be challenging. Establishing repackaging process, application lifecycle management, OS migrations, major rollouts and efficiency initiatives can have hidden impacts on many facets of your organization.

We can help. Our Application Management Process Assessment analyzes every facet of your organization, including operating environment, hardware, staffing, training and the application lifecycle management process. By observing your processes, interacting with key leaders and management and learning about your organization, we are able to determine what you are doing well and areas where you can improve. Your assessment includes:

• Custom documentation that contains findings, analysis and recommendations
• Guidance for establishing standards, processes and branding
• Options for creating the suggested environment and implementing the recommended technology
• Options for training on Wise products and related technology
