Replacing Microsoft App-V with Liquidware FlexApp at the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has successfully transitioned from App-V to FlexApp.
Customer Need
Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead was looking for a cost-effective solution to replace App-V, which is reaching end of life.
Selection Criteria
Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead chose FlexApp because it is a single solution that could support both laptops and RDS environments.
Customer Challenge
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead IT team had about 47 applications packaged in App-V — which took over a year to complete — consuming the time and resources of a modest team.
Solution Advantages
The infrastructure specialists at Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead quickly realized that FlexApp enables filtering per device, platform, and user group, allowing us to dynamically "pick, find, and attach" applications.
Operational Improvements
Leveraging Liquidware’s conversion tool, most of the 14 applications were migrated within a week. By the end of life for Windows 10, application delivery will be fully managed through FlexApp.
For organizations evaluating application management solutions, I highly recommend FlexApp. I was genuinely surprised by how easy it was, given the packaging challenges we’ve faced in the past. Recently, we needed to update a package. We just upgraded it, published it in FlexApp and within 20 minutes it was ‘next-next-finished.’ Historically, it would have cost much more time, care and consideration. FlexApp is just easy, intuitive, and it works.”
