Applications
Know your applications are ready before you migrate.
The fastest way to derail a migration is an application that will not run on the new platform. Application readiness confirms compatibility, packages what is needed and gets owners to test, well before deployment day.
The challenge
Ready, or found out too late
Compatibility problems discovered during a rollout are expensive and public. Readiness moves that discovery to the front of the project, where it is cheap to fix, and puts the testing in the hands of the people who actually use each application.
What makes it complex
Unknown compatibility on the target platform
Packaging that is not migration-ready
Owner testing and sign-off
The risk of finding out on deployment day
Project at a glance
Scoped clearly, up front.
What is in, what is out and what you get, agreed before anything starts.
What it is
- Confirm applications work on your target platform, package them and get owners to test, so the migration carries no surprises.
Prerequisites
- An endpoint management tool such as Microsoft Intune
In scope
- Applications on PCs
Out of scope
- Applications on servers, mobile and kiosk devices
- Web applications
Deliverables
- Applications tested to the agreed level and ready to deploy
- A clear readiness position for each application
- The process maintained in BAU for future changes
How ClearVisibility delivers it
The method, built into the tool.
- Identifies the applications actually in use, per device.
- Prioritises testing by reach, so effort goes where it matters most.
- Routes testing and sign-off to application owners.
- Tracks readiness against the migration timeline and carries the data into the migration.
