What application packaging services do you offer?

If you would like more than just guidance on application packaging and deployment with ConfigMgr, we can also package and test application installs for you. We use the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit (PSADT) which is PowerShell based, open-source, and can be used to install or uninstall applications or apply custom configurations with systems management software such as ConfigMgr, Intune, or Workspace One.

The PSADT allows users to defer installations, close specific open applications, install dependencies, modify the registry, create/remove shortcuts, offers built-in logging, and more.

Applications are created and tested in our ConfigMgr test environment to ensure the application is installed/uninstalled correctly based on your target OS such as Windows 10 or 11 and the detection method is successful prior to securely being transferred to our customers.

Will user account access be needed?

No, unless there's a specific purpose that we need temporary access on your systems such as troubleshooting an issue. Typically, our consulting can be done with a screen share using software such as Teams or Zoom, and log files can be shared securely using OneDrive or Google Drive.

If account access needs to be granted, for example, on a test workstation or a client experiencing technical issues, with approval, we can use secure software such as LogMeIn that requires your authorization and can be monitored during the session.

Do you outsource your consulting to sub-contractors?

No. While even the largest IT companies are outsourcing services, we believe insourcing offers the highest quality of services and consulting which reduces the chances of misconfigurations and miscommunication, which ultimately reduces costs.

We have over 24 years of IT experience, including working in 80k+ client global environments where attention to detail, QA testing, security, and change management is essential.
