New Platform Addresses a Key Challenge of Enterprise IT Modernization: Application Management
LAS VEGAS, NV, USA - September 10, 2024 -- Today Rimo3, a software startup that helps enterprises conquer the complexities of managing Windows application ecosystems, improves enterprise IT agility with the release of the new Workspace 360 agile application lifecycle management platform and the new Patch360 product, uniquely providing validated enterprise patch management.
Today’s new Workspace360 announcement changes how enterprise IT leaders approach application management. For years enterprises have either applied expensive manual labor to repetitive application processes or released applications without proper testing. After the July CrowdStrike incident, CIOs recognize untested, undocumented updates, patches, and changes can cause critical business failures.
The Workspace 360 platform provides outcomes-based application delivery strategies for enterprises buckling under the pace of change. It provides essential automation and customized insights for IT teams who need to replace the status quo of manual effort and guesswork with new automated, secure methods to manage applications across modern cloud, virtual, and physical endpoints and workspaces.
Reducing Risk with Faster Enterprise Application Migrations and Automated Application Patching
The platform is comprised of four essential modules that can be purchased individually or as a platform.
- Discover360 – Providing clarity on applications and their dependencies, Discover360 uses automation to import Windows applications from the enterprise environment, building a baseline analysis of application DNA. This invaluable data is the foundation to understand best delivery paths, plus potential issues that would disrupt specific application delivery methods.
- Package360 – Automating the modernization of applications at scale, Package360 accelerates the journey to cloud native Windows endpoints. Package360 automatically creates fully formed and tested application packages in modern formats such as Microsoft MSIX, Omnissa AppVolumes, or Liquidware FlexApp. Packages are created in batch for delivery systems like Microsoft Intune, Nerdio Manager for Enterprise, and Omnissa Workspace ONE or Horizon.
- Validate360 – Assessing packaged applications with the patented Rimo3 Intelligent Smoke Testing process, Validate360 provides automated validation of apps against any changes in the customized and hardened enterprise physical, virtual and cloud environments. Facilitating attended or unattended user acceptance testing (UAT), Validate360 aligns with IT compliance requirements, providing centralized results and a full audit trail.
- Patch360 – Featuring a growing a catalog of over 25,000 common Windows applications and installers, Patch360 uniquely validates and tests applications using contextual relevance for the specific enterprise environment, verifying successful results and automating the patching, updating, versioning, repackaging, and validation of applications. Patch360 certifies applications before handoff to delivery tools like Microsoft Intune or Nerdio Manager for Enterprise.
Speeding secure enterprise application management, Workspace360 includes API integration with enterprise ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow to fully track the full application lifecycle from request to packaging, validation, delivery, patching, and deployment.
Innovating for Modern Enterprise Application Management, Migration, and Patching
Today’s Rimo3 announcements are driven by years working with enterprise IT customers and the world’s largest technology innovators.
Stephen Hoensch, Head of IT Service Development, University of Cambridge
“Education institutions face increasing pressure to keep up with the pace of technological change, especially regarding application management. The manual processes traditionally involved in application packaging, migration, and validation slow the adoption of transformative technologies like Azure Windows 365, Virtual Desktop, and Intune and expose organizations to unnecessary risks. Partnering with Rimo3 has revolutionized this process by introducing intelligent automation that drastically reduces the time and effort required to bring applications into modern workspaces.
With Rimo3 new automated patch management and validation capabilities, institutions and businesses can ensure their applications are always secure, compliant, and ready to deliver optimal performance across any platform. This isn't just about keeping up with technology; it's about staying ahead of the curve, ensuring that IT resources are used efficiently and strategically to drive innovation and enhance productivity.”
Yvonne Muench, Sr. Director - Marketplace & ISV Journey, Microsoft
“Our partner Rimo3’s automated application management solution on Azure Marketplace empowers IT professionals worldwide to efficiently meet enterprise business needs, whether migrating apps to Windows 11, Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, or Microsoft Intune. With Rimo3 and Microsoft technologies, IT teams can now streamline operations, enhance productivity, and drive innovation.”
Bharath Rangarajan, Chief Product Officer, Omnissa
“CIOs want to adopt the latest digital workspace technologies but are stuck when application uncertainty and legacy debt stall the project. When enterprises use Omnissa Apps on Demand and Rimo3 Workspace360 together, they can automate the process around application capture, convert, validation, and handoff of AppVolumes packages to WorkspaceONE or Horizon. This efficiency helps organizations more quickly adopt modern technologies and start seeing results in the adoption of innovation and end user productivity.”
Vadim Vladimirskiy, CEO and co-founder of Nerdio
“By combining Rimo3 automation for migration and validation with Nerdio Manager for Enterprise Unified Application Management, the joint offering can save enterprises months in migration time and significantly reduce labor and renewal costs. This is just the beginning of what’s possible in transforming enterprise application management.”
Gary Edtl, Director, Digital Workspace, Presidio
“Enterprises don’t often realize the depth and breadth of application work needed in a VDI migration, Windows OS adoption, or even a migration from SCCM to Intune. When we introduce Rimo3 automation, customers are surprised how much they can automate – and with security and compliance well documented. Many customers can shorten project timelines and potentially complete the migration before an expensive renewal hits.”
Mike Welling, CEO, Rimo3
“This is an exciting new phase of Rimo3. We have been quietly working on this product relaunch for some time, collecting customer and partner feedback about the ideal modern-day application lifecycle platform, and it’s clear that automation is key to that process. We are also thrilled to begin mindful adoption of AI with the release of Workspace360 and ecstatic to launch our Patch360 module, with 25,000 applications and installers in our first iteration. Rimo3 will disrupt this space, bringing our patented validation process to uniquely enhance the enterprise patching experience. Continue to watch Rimo3 for more major announcements– it’s really an incredible time to be at Rimo3.”
