Pre-configured software packages: one simple step to faster software deployment
Date: September 7th, 2022
Is there anything that makes gift giving easier? Yes! Gift-wrapping services. When I was younger, I would pay my sister to wrap all my gifts, and I still would if we lived closer. I’m no good at it, and every fold in the wrapping paper seems to cause me another ten minutes of grief. Either I don’t have enough paper, I’ve used too much paper, there’s a bulge where the paper should lay flat, or I can’t make the wrapping look nice because of the gift’s unusual shape.
My sister, on the other hand, patient and precise, raises wrapping to an art. With just a quick glance, she can tell how to wrap the gift, whether there will be enough paper, and how to make it look nice without giving too much away. It’s a skill I’ve always envied, if not enough to learn how to do it myself.
Thankfully most retailers offer gift-wrapping, so if I really need to make it look nice, I let the professionals do it – everyone else knows not to look at the wrapping too long. That gives me time to focus on buying more gifts, planning other celebration activities, or whatever else may come up in between. It leaves me flexible to get other stuff done.
Software packaging is obviously a different beast with many different drivers and concerns, but the principle remains the same: it’s better if my sister does it. OK, maybe not my sister, maybe not even yours, but someone’s sister who is more talented and has the skills and the focus to package the software so that it’s ready for deployment and can be rolled out without any compatibility issues.
Don’t have a sister who can package your software for you? We do. Well, not sisters exactly, though I suppose some of them are. We even have brothers who package for you. Probably some aunts and uncles, definitely some cousins, some parents and possibly even a grandparent or two.
No, the point is that we have a store. And not just any store but the world’s largest package store. Not only can you get the software, but you can get the package, too, professionally put together, with all the bells and whistles – and by this we obviously mean all the customized setting and compatibility adjustments you need to get your software and applications rolled out quickly and without any issues. With this, you can ensure the safety, security, reliability and continuity of your important digital business resources and processes.
Client managers, portfolio managers, software packagers and CSOs want quick and easy access to the latest software versions, application updates and patches to keep the software portfolio always up to date and eliminate security vulnerabilities as they occur.
Genuine IT Visibility means doing three essential things right:
- Data completeness – With the right array of discovery and inventory methods and tools, you can get a full set of relevant data from any system in your environment. A great discovery tool will come equipped with fit-for-purpose connectors for all the most important and widely used enterprises systems and cloud solution as well as the flexibility to quickly create new connectors. This makes getting the data you need quick and easy.
- Data quality – Having the data is one thing, but turning it into high quality data is another. How can you do this? By aggregating and normalizing the data, you can compare data sources to check for gaps, errors, duplicate information, and other issues that lower data quality. Once you’ve unmuddied the waters, you can start to see the big picture.
- Data-driven actions – Visibility is meaningless unless you can do something with it. The data should provide clear answers to specific questions, and it should allow you to take action to solve the problems. Automated reports and dashboards give you the insight you need to act on all your most important IT management challenges and initiatives.
While a blunt instrument might think the data is enough, an expert will understand that the data needs be high-quality to yield meaningful results. The Unified Data Platform aggregates and normalizes the data to give it a standard form, to eliminate duplicates and find data gaps, and it enriches the data with information from its market-leading Technology Catalog.
Software, deployable when you need it, wherever you need it.
With the Raynet Package Store, you get software that’s
- Pre-packaged
- Pre-configured
- Easily customizable
- Fully compatible
- Safe and secure
And with over 10,000 packages already available, we’re almost guaranteed to have what you need.
