How do you look cool with AppDNA?

How do you look cool with AppDNA? -

Uncertainty of application compatibility is one of the biggest roadblocks to any desktop transformation project. In the past I AOVE seen this lead to inaccurate information presented to stakeholders. This can potentially lead to eruptions budget and timeline. And if you overestimate the outset, projects can be stored because the company can not see the return on investment. It was the old!

AppDNA help take the guesswork out of the piece of the puzzle of application compatibility Application Migration. Even those of us who are old school and love to get our hands dirty fixing application problems, must admit that AppDNA is the new way; the most effective way; most cost-effective manner; the best way!

Citrix made a significant change to the licensing model last October with the release of version 6.1 SP1, when they allowed to import and analyze as many applications as you want in the period test 30 days. This will give you access to two high-level reports; being View Estate, and the other being the calculator of the effort. The trial license allows you to unlock the reports and patches for Windows applications and up to 5 5 Web applications. The only View Estate is gold.

Imagine this. There, AOS talk of a Windows OS upgrade project or imminent application virtualization project. You download, install and configure AppDNA. So simple and wizard driven, you, Äôll have done in a few hours. Then you start just pointing AppDNA where you store your application source files. There are a number of different ways you can do this. You, Äôll then be able to analyze applications. This may take some time, depending on the number of applications and their sizes. You do, AOT must import each application, simply concentrate on those you know will spawn conversation and FUD. After That, AOS complete you will have an Estate View report high level that you can present to stakeholders at the launch meeting. In addition, you can choose to unlock and report on the 5 5 Windows applications and even Web applications, just to tease them and put them under your spell. You can then run them through different simulations via the computer effort, allowing them to see the estimated number of resources and costs for this piece of the puzzle. This is a much more constructive approach to these meetings, and makes you look cool way.

You could simply say that AppDNA is an IT consultant as a paper clip is to MacGyver.

• 3 ^rd party tools AppDNA can leverage off.
• What test for AppDNA?
• Grouping applications based on business units or pilot groups.

• The reports, such as Overview Summary, EstateView, enforcement issues, enforcement actions, sanitation, way of the future, Calculator effort.
