Software Applications Repackaging is the technology of software reengineering which simplifies processes of software distributing, administrating and supporting.
With the help of this technology, we prepare Software Applications for Corporative Deployment and minimize software support cost within a company.
The technology of Software Repackaging converts Software into installation package which can be automatically installed without any administrator or user interference.
At the time of Software Applications Repackaging following occurs:
Making sure of meeting Microsoft standards
Making sure of meeting customer corporate standards
Software conflict elimination
Customizing software according to customer needs
Using Software Repackaging technology we are able to perform migration of customer’s environment to the new Windows operating system. Currently we are performing migrations to Microsoft® Windows XP. Software integration is being performed at the time of migration. This ensures the full functioning of all Software Applications which were in-use before migration.
Software Applications Repackaging helps to resolve a number of software support problems:
Company software assets database management
Licenses and software updates management
Minimizing of human resources involvement in software deployment and support
Software support cost reduction
The main benefits of repackaged Software application are:
Software can be used for Corporate Deployment, using Software Distribution server
Software can be used for remote Deployment
Software can be used with Group Policy Objects
Software Applications Repackaging is mainly based on Microsoft Windows Installer technology (MSI).
Microsoft® Windows Installer is an operating system service that standardizes the way that software applications are installed and configured, thereby increasing desktop reliability and reducing the costs associated with application deployment and desktop management.

Open architecture
Total cost of ownership
Rollback
Dynamic source list
Group policy and security
