"AdminStudio is our go-to tool for reliably packaging applications to get them out to our users as fast as possible. It brings tremendous value to our IT department, increases the productivity of our IT administrators and ultimately saves us from many of the usual headaches associated with preparing software for enterprise deployment."

"Benjamin Seeley maintains more than 200 packages at a large Midwestern financial services company. His packaging group includes four full-time staffers. They use the conflict management database in AdminStudio to assess new applications for problems before the company buys them, he says. It really does reduce your cost of ownership,' Seeley says, adding that the 10 to 20 hours required to package and test one software update can save hundreds of hours during deployment."

"With Workflow Manager, we recuperated 50 percent of a personnel resource previously dedicated to tracking and updating application progress. In addition, our managers and packagers are able to access, update and view all application information on the intranet at any time. This online information greatly reduces the burden of distribution information and internal communications requests."

Thierry Bourdon

"Before AdminStudio I had to spend roughly two days per application creating, testing, distributing, and fixing files. Now a repackage takes a maximum of half a day, including installation testing. AdminStudio makes updates simple, which gives me time to focus on other work. Hats off to InstallShield for creating such a great product and backing it up with excellent support staff."
