Plan and manage your application portfolio with a new AppTitude

The AppTitude solution from App-DNA delivers true business value throughout the application lifecycle. AppTitude extracts and stores the application DNA from your application portfolio and automatically analyzes application compatibility, identifies any specific issues and provides a combination of automatic fixes and remediation advice required to resolve them. This application DNA provides the detail required to understand and identify the impact and implications of change in your environment.

AppTitude assesses application compatibility for 100% of your application estate within days

AppTitude automatically extracts and stores application 'DNA' and interrogates it to provide key intelligence about your application portfolio and assesses the potential impact of change in your environment. The information provided by AppTitude can be used to support migrations and upgrades to Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP and Service Packs, virtualization projects and can be reused to support future projects. It addresses your biggest concerns, application compatibility and remediation effort, and cuts project costs, resources and time significantly.

AppTitude uses the application DNA to provide key information about which applications will have issues being upgraded, migrated, or virtualized in an easy to read report, within days not months. It helps you understand the key issues affecting your software applications upfront enabling you to quickly identify, prioritize, and fix any problems.

AppTitude provides an analysis and reporting framework for planning, managing and budgeting your application change program.

Information is provided as a red, yellow and green (RYG) traffic-light based report. This delivers a quick snapshot of the applications that will migrate without issues (green), which will require further testing (yellow), and which will fail and require remediation (red). AppTitude provides in-depth information on problem areas, including a report that lists errors triggered by which applications, and a combination of remediation advice and automatic fixes to resolve "yellow" and "red" applications.

Identify applications that can and can't be virtualized

By interrogating the application DNA, AppTitude enables you to understand quickly which applications can be virtualized and which ones can't. In addition, AppTitude can automatically generate any required sequences.

AppTitude enables you to plan your virtualization project with certainty thereby shortening project delivery timescales and limiting the need for expensive resources.

Introduce a new Microsoft Windows operating system or Microsoft service pack

Application compatibility is a key issue when introducing a new operating system or service pack. AppTitude enables organisations to understand which applications will migrate and which won't. For those applications with issues, AppTitude identifies the problem, provides remediation advice, and offers automatic fixes where available.

Create clean MSI's and deployable sequences for any application

AppTitude can automatically create clean MSI's and workable sequences for virtualization following best practice for any installable application. Through integration with InstallShield and AppTitude's snapshotting functionality, AppTitude can create clean MSI's and deployable sequences and recipes for use in migration, virtualization and interoperability projects.

Understand relationships between applications

As application estates become larger and more complex, application interoperability and best practice are increasingly a priority. AppTitude extracts the application DNA of your software portfolio and quickly enables you to understand if there are any interoperability issues with your applications.

Manage the introduction of new applications

AppTitude highlights the implications of change and specifically identifies the fixes required - whether you're introducing your own in-house software or ISV applications. It enables you to analyze all of your applications in hours and days, not months or years and to know exactly which 80% of your applications will work without testing.

AppTitude delivers real business benefit and resource savings at all stages of your application lifecycle. Furthermore, the reporting and analysis generated by AppTitude suggests solutions for you to assess and rationalize at the start of your project. This enables you to produce an informed and accurate remediation plan. And, as a result, develop your plan far quicker and with a more accurate budget. It provides true application intelligence quickly and provides a deep level of management control over your application portfolio - a first for IT departments, saving both time and money.
