Achieving a Cutting Edge Environment Based on Standards, Streamlining processes while Saving the Firm time, Effort and Budget : An AdminStudio and WorkFlow Manager Case Study.

For Tauw, an international firm of consulting engineers, it can be a big job to manage the applications needed by 1,250 employees on 1,350 desktops in an enterprise environment that spans across six European countries. When the IT team needed to standardize their application deployment processes, they needed to ensure the preparation of applications was fast, cost-effective and reliable. Using a combination of Acresso™ AdminStudio® and Workflow Manager® alongside Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager® (ConfigMgr) and Microsoft Application Virtualization™ (App-V), which is part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack® (MDOP), the firm is saving time and budget while producing quality applications for the environmental and civil engineering organization.

Tauw started to migrate their previous Novell® ZENworks® 6.5 environment to standardize on Microsoft’s platform by implementing Microsoft ConfigMgr in conjunction with Microsoft App-V. During this migration process, they were also able to discover the benefits of upgrading their dated license of AdminStudio 6.0 to the latest AdminStudio release which now supports the creation of App-V ready packages. Turning to PDS®, a solution-driven advisor for system administrator and software developer tools, Tauw learned of the latest AdminStudio features to create, test and manage virtual applications alongside traditional applications. PDS also advised Tauw to take advantage of the Web-based process management tools in Acresso Workflow Manager to help manage the migration process from physical applications to virtual applications.
