Upgrading To Ie11 Has Many Advantages For Organisations

Upgrading from IE8 to IE11 is not as easy for the users of Windows enterprise users as upgrading the browser for home edition of Windows. A lot many things depend on it and those things are to be checked before the upgrade can be done. For example, the organisation might have built a software or web app for internal use which is best viewed in the older browser or some functionality of the web app can be available only in the older browser. Upgrading the browser suddenly will make this web app unusable which might lead to financial loss.

Microsoft is well aware of it. To counter this, they have started offering tools like enterprise site discovery, enterprise mode and enterprise mode site list so that the upgrade process is seamless and smooth. Using these tools, the enterprises can easily upgrade the browser without breaking the functionality of their app.

Upgrading the browser comes with several advantages but most notably, as it cam out in a survey, the improved efficiency of the organisation as a whole. Many of the participants of the survey also pointed out how the need of supporting legacy app and browser was absent and how they benefited from it. There was no need to rewrite existing apps either as the IE8 render engine is integrated in the enterprise version of IE11.

Another advantage of updating the browser is the ease of upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the latest operating system Microsoft have to offer.

Hire a Professional Agency For Application Packaging

Whether it is an operating system upgrade, such as upgrading from Windows8 to Windows 10, or you have already done that and want to carry your existing IT assets forward, you will need application packaging service. Application packaging is recoding you existing package to make it compatible for a newer operating environment. It can even be a totally new operating system; for example, you can decide to move from Windows to Linux and you still need three applications you developed for internal use to be available in Linux. This is when you will need application packaging service. You may experience a growth in your business and again, you will need application packaging.

Any MSI application packaging agency should be able to help you during this phase. They should, ideally, have a dedicated team of engineers, who can easily repack your existing application.  Then they should have team of certified testers who can test the newly packaged application for any conflict. The team of testers should also do the quality testing and the final delivery. Then the new package will be transferred to be used in the new environment. 

The advantage of using a professional agency is manifold. Firstly, you wont need an in-house internal packaging system. This is a huge advantage because that expert will have limited role only. You can cut down your IT staffing expenses significantly. Hiring an agency will also mean that you get complete support from them which leads to time and effort conservation. Any decent agency will provide every type of application packaging service including App V and MSI application packaging service so you will not need any other assistance from anywhere either.
