InstallShield AMS™
2 Complete
Application Management for the Enterprise
While
AdminStudio enables any organization to prepare applications
for enterprise use, larger companies still face significant
application management challenges. With administrators in
different offices preparing hundreds of applications for
thousands of workstations, critical data gets lost, work gets
duplicated, and time and money get wasted.
The
new InstallShield AMS 2 is a Web-based system that
facilitates and streamlines your application management
process. Fully integrated with AdminStudio, InstallShield
AMS lets you monitor and control all the personnel, deployment
requests, data, and workflows involved in the process – making
IT far more efficient and cost-effective.
AMS Significantly Improves Packaging Team
Collaboration

Get complete insight into and control over your
application management process, across offices or
countries, with AMS’s robust Web-based

 |
Catalog all application-related data needed to
streamline future software updates and repairs and
define who can access it. Automatically document any
packaging issue through to resolution, making future
packaging and repair efforts more
efficient.
|
 |
Automatically route applications to the next
process step the instant they’re ready, significantly
decreasing time to deployment.
|
 |
Give end users an easy way to submit application
deployment requests to IT and monitor their status
in real time.
|
 |
And much
more! | | |
“ With InstallShield’s AMS,
we recuperated 50 percent of a personnel resource previously
dedicated to tracking and updating application progress. In
addition, our managers and packagers are able to access, update, and
view all application information on the intranet at any
time."
