14. 13 Technology Overview
15. 14 Windows Installer MSI MST MSP MSM EXE Virtual SFT OS Image WIM SOE MS Update MSU EXE Wise WSI WSE Radia Native REFWI Novell AXT Folder * Legacy EXE BAT VBS Virtual machine MSI EXE MSI Step 1: Import/Convert Step 1: Import/Automated Conversion
16. 15 Step 2: Assess • Windows 7, 32- and 64-bit • Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 • Application and desktop virtualization: Microsoft, Symantec, Citrix, VMware • Website & web application compatibility with Internet Explorer 8 & 9 and Firefox • Compatibility for application dependencies with Office 2007/2010 • Application compatibility with monthly Microsoft Patch Updates • Conflict analysis with your OS image • Assess if applications will peacefully coexist
17. 16 The RAG Report System Graphical Overview of Product Sets AMBER  Issues identified at packaging level  ChangeBASE automatically fixes the majority of Amber issues RED  Issue pertains to how the code or program works  Pass the ChangeBASE issue description to the developer/vendor, or retire the application GREEN  No compatibility issues were identified  Proceed directly to UAT
18. 17 Step 3: Fix • Fix compatibility issues through automated generation of Microsoft Transform files (MST) • Fix application behaviors to comply with in-house and packaging (MSI) standards; author your own rules • Reports show the compatibility of your estate both before and after fixing • Bulk fix issues for rapid turnaround
19. 18 Step 4: Automation Creation of Virtual Applications • Automated generation of virtual format applications from native desktop MSIs • Virtualize applications for deployment with: – Microsoft App-V – Symantec SWV – VMware ThinApp • Virtualize up to 100 applications in a single day per VM, compared with 2-4 applications per day manually
20. 19 Next Steps • To be completed by sales and tailored to each customer meeting • Example: – Summary of customer requirement and how ChangeBASE meets this – Confirmation that customer’s questions have been answered – Agreement to purchase or POC (inc. dates) – If POC, agreement of success criteria (which if met would result in the sale of the product) – Agreement of date for next meeting/steps
21. 20 What’s New in ChangeBASE 5.1
22. 21 MSI Packaging Capability • Create, configure and test installation packages • Integrated MSI packaging capabilities – MSI Studio now included • Reduces need for expensive 3rd party MSI authoring tools
