App-DNA Announces Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Web Application Compatibility Assessment Beta Program
Smoother Web Application Assessment and Intelligent Remediation™ Helps Enterprises Reach the Optimized Desktop
LAS VEGAS: April 19, 2010–App-DNA Inc. announced today from the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) a beta program to test the compatibility of web applications with Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) using the AppTitude application compatibility testing platform. With this new program, App-DNA provides a technology platform that empowers IT organizations to efficiently migrate their entire application portfolio to the optimized desktop - including Windows 7 and IE8. Interested enterprises can immediately
register for the App-DNA AppTitude IE8 beta program and speak with App-DNA at the MMS Expo Stand #437.
Currently enterprises use AppTitude for application compatibility initiatives around Windows 7, Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenApp and Windows Server 2008. Through the AppTitude IE8 beta program, App-DNA now also provides a unique approach to address the blockers surrounding web application compatibility. With the new beta capabilities, AppTitude automates the capture of the web application source, and tests the application DNA against specifically designed heuristic algorithms. Enterprises benefit by learning the behavior of their web applications and choosing their preferred Intelligent Remediation™ path to accelerate the deployment. Because AppTitude captures all of the application “DNA” for analysis and determines the suggested remediation path, AppTitude provides a departure from traditional, time-consuming manual runtime based testing processes, repurposing packaging tools not inherently designed for application compatibility, or the risky deployment of applications without testing.
For Windows 7 and Microsoft App-V application virtualization projects, AppTitude has been proven to provide a 300-500% return on investment. AppTitude currently accelerates Windows 7 and App-V implementations by quickly testing application estates for issues and remediating those issues either through Intelligent Remediation™ or autoremediation. Now AppTitude will also speed IE8 migrations by ensuring web applications are tested and remediated, helping the IT team to more quickly implement the new technology and roll it out to more satisfied users.
“Enterprises today rely on web applications, but often, these critical line of business applications were developed for legacy versions of IE and don’t have an efficient migration path to IE8. Without a straightforward and clear migration plan for web applications, enterprises are often delaying the rollout of new technologies like Windows 7 and missing out on the benefits of the optimized desktop. With the AppTitude IE8 application compatibility and remediation beta, enterprises can now asses and ensure an efficient migration path to IE8,” said Samit Patel, Head of Global Technology and Solutions Group for App-DNA.
