High Standards

Whether deploying to physical or virtual desktops (XP or Vista) or to terminal services/Citrix, all of your applications will be professionally prepared to the same high standard using a combination of vendor best practices and our own extensive real-world experience.

Fixed Price

Our model is based on a price per application. This means you can accurately budget for the cost of virtualising your applications. Each package comes with a warranty to ensure that there are no extra costs should the application fail (Terms and Conditions apply).

Ongoing Service

We offer ongoing services to upgrade existing packages (including service packs, hotfixes or configuration changes) or introduce new applications at any time.

Flexibility

Whether you already have skills in-house but need some extra hands (for example, during high demand or to get a project in on time), or have no desire to invest in the skills required, we can help.

Reduced Costs

Office Space is expensive. Staff are expensive. By offloading the process to us, you remove the need for dedicated staff and can use existing staff for more business-related projects.

Documentation

Full documentation will be given for each application with details of how it was packaged and the results of our testing. In the rare case of being unable to sequence an application, you'll receive a report detailing why, and where possible offered advice on alternative strategies.

Reduced Risk

With our made to measure service there's no need to engage contract staff on fixed term contracts, or rely on a 'single point of failure' - you'll have access to our entire team. We have prepared hundreds of applications - so you'll benefit from our vast experience and be sure that you will get the best possible package following our own and Microsoft best practices.

Scalability

Whether you have hundreds of applications to virtualise, or just one, we have a package to suit your requirements.
 

Bespoke

Not only will we design a service around your requirements, but we'll also build a custom sequencing environment to reflect your configuration and specific technical requirements as closely as possible.
