Many organisations have built up a significant catalogue of applications over the years and inherited considerable complexity, costs and liabilities in the process. Transforming them through internal projects can take too long and is rarely a high enough priority.

Some organisations have a very small number of very critical applications and need to ensure they are highly resilient and available from any location.

Either way, migrating the application set forms a critical part of any desktop transformation project, so this is the chance to get them under control.  

How Centralis Can Help

Centralis uses specialised tools to analyse both application usage (to simplify the application set down to the smallest number possible) and application compatibility (in order to identify any changes needed) when delivering the applications to a new, more agile desktop. 

Centralis services include:

Discovery - Examining current application usage to rationalise the application set, understand the workloads of particular applications and profile user types.

Centralis recommends agent-based software from Liquidware Labs to profile customer's application usage.

To request more information about Liquidware Labs and Centralis Discovery service please contact us.

Analysis & Remediation - If you want to reduce the cost and complexity of application delivery, App-DNA has the market leading toolset. 

Using the App-DNA tools Centralis can provide simple reports that indicate the readiness of your applications for Windows 7, App-V, Citrix XenDesktop and a whole range of other options. We can even provide estimates for virtualising the whole application estate.

For more information about our application delivery service please contact us.

Cloud-Based Applications - if you want to move application delivery off your desktop, consider working with us to move your application delivery into the cloud.  Whether you want to set up your cloud services internally, have a private solution dedicated to your organisation or reduce costs by working in a shared cloud facility, Centralis can act as your gateway to the cloud.  Click here and we'll get in touch to tell you more...
