ChangeBASE

The fastest and easiest way to ensure application readiness

Avoiding user disruption during computing upgrades is essential. Application compatibility failures are time-consuming, expensive, and complex. Whether you’re migrating to Windows 7, applying monthly Microsoft Patch Tuesday updates, or adopting new application virtualization technologies, ensuring application compatibility is the biggest hurdle to success.

ChangeBASE reduces application migration risk and ensures application readiness. You can automate application compatibility testing, application remediation, application packaging, and application virtualization to accelerate patch updates or deployments to new platforms.

ChangeBASE provides a wide range of reports that make it easy to find and fix compatibility issues in minutes, package them up, and get your applications up and running quickly with minimal manual effort. This way you can reduce the time and risk of ongoing system management.

Fast Automated Application Readiness for Microsoft Windows & Office, plus Virtualized Desktop and Application Environments

ChangeBASE Professional provides application readiness by loading applications, assessing for application compatibility with your target operating systems and virtual environments, and fixing issues. Applications can be bulk loaded: hundreds can be done in minutes. Each is assigned icons to indicate detailed information about the application including dependencies.

Comprehensive Range of Application Compatibility Tests

ChangeBASE runs over 250,000 tests on your applications. Many of these have automated fixes available, represented by cogs in this screenshot. Tests cover a huge number of technical scenarios.

Application Readiness Analysis

ChangeBASE's automated assessment shows you which applications are suitable for which of the target platforms and virtual technologies that you've chosen. Each is shown with colour coded rankings for suitability. Applications with compatibility issues are identified as red or amber, and a green tick is applied to applications with no identified issues. ChangeBASE provides deep detail into each individual issue and how to fix it.

Automated Fixing of Compatibility Issues

Once you've found your application compatibility issues, ChangeBASE Professional can automatically resolve the vast majority of these issues. This substantially accelerates application delivery.

On-going Management

Take the stress out of management by performing continual testing for Windows updates and patches, allowing you to introduce changes quickly and easily.

Easy to Use Visual Reports

The HTML view provides both overviews and detailed reports showing the compatibility of a group of applications with your selected target platforms. These reports can be used either before fixes are applied, to build a business case, or after issues have been fixed, to document and communicate the results of the project.

Application Virtualization

Aumatically virtualize your applications..

Automate Corporate Packaging Standards

Test for issues related to in-house and packaging (MSI) standards and automatically apply fixes to easily ensure compliance.

Detailed Application Readiness Dashboards

Tracking application readiness, resources and progress has never been easier. The new online dashboards and reporting features provide graphs, charts, calculators, project tracking and next-step wizards so anyone can gain insights of on-going application compatibility projects.

URL Drag and Drop Functionality

You can drag URLs straight from a browser onto the workbench window to tested them for compatibility issues. The Browser Compatibility tool will then spider through the domain to find each individual web page contained within it.
