Application Packaging Services
We specialise in delivering continuous & on-demand application services to our customers.
What We Do
Application packaging is the process of creating a configured software package, which is installed silently for business use. This package will provide the benefit of being able to be deployed to many machines using a deployment tool such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) or Intune, without having to physically go to each machine to install and configure the application.
Our Application Packaging Services provide flexible engagement models to suit our customers’ needs. Our team can deliver at scale to support your large digital transformation projects, delivering packages according to defined intervals or acting as an overflow in times of peak demand to ensure that your packages meet patching obligations, project timescales, or internal SLA’s. Alternatively, we can manage the entire application lifecycle as an ongoing service-based engagement.
Benefits of Application Packaging
Below is a list of some of the key benefits of using application packaging services from Adaptrix Consulting, either as part of a customer’s strategy for on-going application patch management or in the transformation of their desktop or application environments.
Reduce Management / Support Costs
Centralised management combined with application packaging can create a more stable application environment, and in turn can help both control and reduce costs around the management and support.
Save Internal Time / Resources
Application packaging enables you to customise and streamline application installations, therefore eliminating time-consuming manual installs and post-install configurations.
Provide a Consistent User Experience
Using application packaging can enable you to deliver the same consistent application experience across all users, which in turn can help improve productivity.
Mitigate Potential Exposure to Malware / Ransomware
Use of controlled application packages can prevent staff from downloading software from unofficial sources which may be compromised or provide a vector for potential attack.
Enable Effective Patch Management Compliance
Respond effectively and quickly to potential zero-day exploits and vulnerabilities with controlled updating of existing packaged applications within a 5-day SLA.
Application Rationalisation
Rationalisation of applications can bring enormous benefits in reducing application sprawl, and combined with application packaging and centralised management, it can help reduce current and future licensing costs.
Streamline the VDI Experience
Application packaging is necessary in some VDI environments to enable businesses to take full advantage of features that enable them to streamline the application experience and rapidly apply on-going changes without disruption to active user sessions.
License Compliance
By restricting users to only install application packages from an approved deployment mechanism, the business can control the number of installs and therefore control the number of licenses they need to purchase.
Why Use our Services
We scale our engagements and solutions to fit with our customer’s requirements.
Intune / MECM Adoption or Migration
Transitioning from Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to Intune is not always simple. We can help fill in the gaps and deliver packaged applications in the IntuneWin format.

Cyber Essentials Patch Management
It’s essential that you have an effective patch management strategy. Adaptrix Consulting can provide on-going rapid packaging updates, against a 5-day SLA to help you mitigate threats from new vulnerabilities.
