Know Our Application Packaging Process Flow

Below is the Steps our packaging process 

01

Workshop and Discovery

This phase involves a thorough examination of your application landscape, understanding their users and usage patterns.

Following this, we organize and ready all identified media for the packaging process.

02

Initiate Application Packaging

Applications are packaged by our team of experts by following below steps:

  • Technical Review 
  • Packaging 
  • Documentation
  • Send to Quality Assurance Team
03

Quality Assurance Testing

You'll receive thorough documentation outlining the package development and a completed quality assurance checklist with each package delivery. Additionally, packages may contain supplementary documentation to assist with live environment deployment.

04

UAT and Deployment

Once applications have undergone our internal testing on your designated Operating System platform, we initiate their release for User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Once the UAT Signoff is Complete, Packaging Request is Closed as Complete.

Right App at Right Time

Your migration or application packaging initiative involves various interdependencies, making a wholesale deployment of all packaged applications on day one impractical. Such haste may overwhelm you, especially if you're not prepared to utilize them immediately. Moreover, given the dynamic nature of technology, the last application in line may already require repackaging by the time you reach it.

To mitigate this risk, we ensure that applications are packaged and delivered to you at the precise moment you're ready to incorporate them into your workflow. Rather than inundating you with applications prematurely, we adopt a strategic approach. Source media is introduced at the outset, and packaged applications are dispensed to you gradually, precisely when they're needed. This ensures that you receive applications that are up-to-date and tailored to your readiness, enhancing efficiency and reducing unnecessary workload.

Pay-as-you-go app pricing

 Our pricing structure is clear-cut: a single, per-app fee for each package. This strategy minimizes the likelihood of budget overruns post-discovery phase, as complexity ceases to be a limiting factor.

Additionally, there are no constraints on the quantity of applications we can package. Whether you begin with one or several, you have the flexibility to increase your requests as necessary.
