This is a guest blog post from Rimo3.

The hybrid workplace model is clearly here to stay, and it will continue to evolve and take shape as organizations and workers adapt to new ways of working. This has precipitated the growth of virtual apps and desktops environments and the volume of apps that needed to be delivered to different types of Windows workspaces based on user and business needs. It has also accelerated hardware, operating system, and application migrations, whether on premises, virtual, to the cloud, or a hybrid approach. If employees cannot access their apps, business continuity and user productivity suffer. Now, more than ever, it’s critical to understand which apps can run on which operating systems so IT admins have the data they need to make informed decisions around app deployments today and in the future.

Rimo3 can help you determine how to best deliver your applications across all your different workspaces, now and in the future. The key is automation. Traditional testing involves setting up test environments, getting users and apps owners to find the time for hours of testing, gathering the information from that testing, and determining whether an application is compatible based on feedback from those users. This can be time consuming, taking from a few hours to a few weeks to test just a single application on a single workspace. And most organizations have applications numbering in the thousands.

Rimo3 automatically imports your existing packages, tests them against the different workspaces and operating systems you’ve selected, and provides the necessary data to make informed, data-driven decisions on where the app can and should be delivered. If an app is found to have an issue, the reason for the issue is returned so it can be corrected.

Not only does this work for determining a data-driven migration strategy for your applications, without the burdening your IT team, it also allows you to continuously test against Windows patches and application updates. Rimo3 enables you to be proactive in determining if a Windows patch or application update would cause issues in your environment. Imagine being able to stave off pushing an update because you are doing regular automated testing of your applications against the latest Windows patches. How much time and money would you save by catching these issues before end users discover them? Think about the downtime alone that comes with pushing the updates, finding out from the users about their issues, investigating how widespread these issues are and severity, determining which patch caused the issue, and reverting the patch out.

Effective IT leaders are making the strategic shift to leveraging automation. Intelligent pre-deployment testing of applications reduces security risk, increases compliance posture, and ensures uptime for the workers who depend on your mission-critical applications.

Automated predeployment testing greatly accelerates replatforming projects, helps to reduce security exposure, and improves compliance.

In 2022, automation is no longer a “nice to have.”
