Summary
Wise Package Studio Suite by Wise Solutions, Symantec®/Altiris
Distribute your software installations with ease. Wise Package Studio is designed for system administrators to streamline the process of preparing software applications for deployment. It combines best practice methodologies with advanced software installation technology, giving system administrators complete control over installations. You can migrate applications to Windows Installer (.MSI) through project and application management, repackaging, customization, validation, testing and dispersing to distribution systems. In return you receive error-free, reliable deployments that cut your packaging efforts. Suite Edition supports all the functions in the Professional Edition and it includes Quality Assuarance Module and Enterprise Management Server.
Overview
Wise Package Studio Suite is composed of Wise Package Studio Professional, Quality Assurance Module and the Enterprise Management Server Module.
For differences between editions, please refer to the Feature Grid document from the Evals & Downloads page.
Quality Assurance - Reduces rollout risk and ensure applications deploy error free
Quality Assurance provides a complete set of automated testing tools that make testing in the real-world and lab environment fast, accurate and economical
Enterprise Management Server
Enterprise Management Server provides a suite of sophisticated project management and collaboration capabilities that allow you to share and manage resources. Whether you manage a single packaging team or numerous teams across the globe, you can now effectively work together and streamline the packaging process
Patch Preparation and Testing
You can quickly prepare patches for error-free deployments with Wise Package Studio 6, using a four-phase process. With Wise Package Studio you can:
Quickly assess the impact the patch will have on the production environment
Create a focused, efficient test plan based on patch impact assessment
Perform lab-based functional testing and "test fly" the patch in production without risk
Perform a risk assessment to see if the deployed patch installed as intended, and quickly remedy any problems
Distributed Computing
Multiple packaging teams need fast, easy access to shared files and common packaging tasks. With distributed computing support, enterprise-level use of Wise Package Studio is much faster and efficient because common packaging tasks, such as compiling and importing, are run from the server.
Preflight Deployment
Preflight Deployment allows you to determine—before deployment — if an application or patch will succeed or fail by testing it in your real-world environment. With Preflight Deployment, you can see why deployments fail on specific machines without disrupting end users or endangering your production environment.
Standard Operating Environment
Now you can include your organization's standard operating environment (SOE) as a protected entity within the Wise Software Repository. By storing your organization's core desktop image in the repository, you can check for conflicts against it during the conflict management process. Applications conflicting with the SOE are highlighted, allowing packagers to easily modify the application to ensure conformance with organizational standards.
Language Pack
Wise Package Studio includes Language Pack.
