Client Lifecycle Management
Client Lifecycle Management
Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) aims at that one can manage the systems in a network over its whole lifecycle. It includes operating system installation, software deployment and patch management as well as advanced solutions like asset- and license management. There are scores of providers in this market having competing products - from the Swiss Brainware over Enteo, LANdesk, Matrix42 or ManageSoft over to Symantec and the large Enterprise-System-Management-manufacturers like IBM, BMC, HP or CA.
The base difficulty of these Client-Lifecycle-Management-Systems is that one always comes across with surrounded systems with or without completed interfaces.
Therefore the Client Lifecycle Management solution has to be integrated typically with other infrastructure components, for example with an already existing Service Desk or an already existing solution in the Meta-Directory field.
Ideally the chosen CLM-System is combined with a powerful Package Lifecycle Management System (PLM) to generate a significant saving of expenses for the whole lifecycle.
- binary AG is a committed partner of LANDesk
- binary AG supplies the in-house development binaryOptimizer, which
presents an optimal complement for the Package Management with LANDesk.

Migration Services
Migration Services
Complexity and costs of such a migration are difficult to calculate. For taking actions existing dependencies have to be recognized at an early stage. Likewise it is essential to determine the Release Management previously to meet no disagreeable surprises.
binary offers our customers an unique technology with the "realTime Virtualization", that makes possible to represent existing environments (operating systems and applications) virtually. By means of this virtual model a variety of "What if" - scenarios can be run through.
Enclosed please find several examples for possible scenarios:
- A new Windows XP Service Pack is to be
deployed
-
- All packages causing problems with
the new Service Pack are recognized
- All packages causing problems with
the new Service Pack are recognized
- Vista Migration is to be planned
-
- All existing packages not working under Vista are identified
- Necessary actions to customize these packages are reported
- Pending MS Office XP -> Office 2003 Migration
-
- Dependencies to existing applications are recognized previously
All results from the scenario testing are reported by means of simple understandable reports and distributed to the appropriate persons.
Preventive acting replaces Try on Error and makes a more accurate planning and cost control possible.
* the RealTime Virtualization Technology forms the binaryOptimizer's base technology

MSI Quality Services
MSI Quality Services
What do enterprises need?
Companies need a quality layer that analyzes MSI installation routines and MSI packages modified by Engineers. As a result there should be a quality report, which is prepared understandable for every role in the company.
The aim should be, that the quality of MSI sources or MSI packages should be assessed without any MSI know - how. The quality report should be the basis for a sucessfullcommunication between Managers and Engineers.
Finally through standardization and the appropriate control, costs and resources can be saved and can otherwise be used optimally.
What contains the quality service?
With the binaryOptimizer, we offer a service that analyzes all MSI installation routines and MSI packages in a company and that checks them for their quality.
The result is a detailed Quality Assessment report that makes possible to assess the quality of an MSI without any MSI know - how.
The binary Services help a company to improve their IT Quality and to concentrate on their core competences.

MSI Management
MSI Management
As always it starts harmlessly... only a few MSI packages to create for the software deployment. But like the wind starting with these few packages there are needed more and more, being available with different languages, there should be an already realized Release- and Change Management and finally it should be preceded with standardized best - practice techniques.
The MSI Technology makes also high demands on the package quality and the structured proceeding in the different creation practices.
How supports the binaryOptimizer (bO) companies in the MSI Management?
Cost savings through standardization:
- Packages are customized automatically according the preset naming convention and compliancy settings.
- The Change- and Release process are realized automatically (differentiating between manufacturer and own developed packages)!
- The creation- and quality process are based on a customizable workflow engine.
- Error recovery at the push of a button and based on a built in knowledge data base
- Through a role model there are assigned Engineering and Management roles.
- Automatic package analyzing resulting in plain quality reports, which meet the demands of Engineers and Managers
- Assess packages through an easy, group based traffic signal system
- Presenting statuses of any packages
Long-term cost optimizing through Conflict- and Dependency Management:
- Collision Management of MSI packages between the operating system and already deployed packages
- Dependency Management of packages and libraries (Merge Modules)
- Design of pre - requirements (which packages have to be installed first) and Cross Updates (which packages replace an already installed application)
What does this stand for a company?
-
A decrease of service desk interventions trough an increase of the package quality
-
A decrease of complexity for the update scenarios through the inclusion of the MSI technology and through that the relocation of the logic into the packages.
-
Enhancement of infrastructure stability through the consistent use of the MSI technology (Change- and Release Management)
-
ITIL (SLA) conform assessment of delivered packages (manufacturer or outsourcing partners)

Conflicts and errors left in packages affect the stability of an
infrastructure negatively and create to some extend massive costs. In
the worst case, conflicts result in
reinstalling a system respectively result in
applications not working anymore. Comparable with mines, they have a certain destroying potential that should not be underestimated. A conflict management only works if as possible all needs are considered related to the infrastructure. In common these are:
The Dependency Management as well plays a central role related to the conflicts. Thereby related topics, like i.e. the Release Management have to be considered. |
