Software Installation Development

80% of failed software deployments can be traced back to defective software installations. As the pioneers behind the market-leading InstallShield and InstallAnywhere software installer solutions, Flexera Software Global Consulting Services delivers industry leading installation services to help companies create a bullet proof software installation process—from planning and building to distribution. Flexera Software can assist your team with the design, implementation, and knowledge transfer so you internally maintain the software installer solution.

While one of the most important steps in the software lifecycle is the software installation process, ensuring that your products can be effectively and easily installed at a customer location can be challenging for many companies.
