Testimonials
"Microsoft has been working closely with Flexera Software, a key member of our Technology Adoption Program, as we planned the rollout of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

"Flexera Software continues to deliver solutions that help automate our customers' adoption of Windows 7 and App-V. AdminStudio 10 provides benefits beyond one-time conversion, allowing customers the flexibility to create and manage both App-V and MSI packages."

Director of Product Management for Desktop Virtualization

"AdminStudio is a life saver for us. It gets the job done. We're constantly juggling multiple packaging projects on very limited resources, such as our recent migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 – and we don't have time to waste doing things manually, or trying to cobble together a patchwork of freeware and tactical tools that don't hit the mark. We just virtualized Microsoft Word 2003 using AdminStudio, and it took me a half hour – compared to the days it would have otherwise taken."

"The evolution – from application packaging as a means to better manage costs in a static technology world, to application management as a means to better manage quality and compatibility in a dynamic technology world – is a game changer. It allows organizations to see beyond their current state and regain their technology agility."
Chris Jackson ('The App Compat Guy')

"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."
Computerworld
"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
AGF Informatique
"This integrated solution reduces the cost of IT by greatly simplifying the deployment of application software. AdminStudio's quality package creation coupled with Tivoli's distribution process provides a powerful solution to customers desiring Windows-specific packaging and distribution solutions."
Bob Madey
IBM Vice President
Tivoli Software
"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."
