CHICAGO - (Business Wire) App-DNA and Soroc Technology Inc. today announced a strategic partnership to help North American customers enhance their application compatibility testing and modify their application portfolios as needed to support OS migrations and virtualization deployments. As part of the relationship, Soroc’s IT professionals will utilize App-DNA’s AppTitude™ solution to assist its clients in gaining faster and better testing and conversion of applications to virtualization formats, as well as assessment, preparation and management of applications when upgrading to new operating systems such as Microsoft’s Windows 7. “Our clients are faced with having to rapidly assess and deploy solutions that deliver both technology innovation and reduced TCO. When considering virtualization or application migration, such as a move to Windows 7, clients need to be able to rely on proven tools that will guide them and reduce the migration timeline,” commented Rob McGill, COO at Soroc. “App-DNA and their AppTitude application compatibility testing solution simplify the decisions that are necessary when evaluating how applications will perform in a changed environment. We are thrilled to partner with App-DNA in bringing this solution to the marketplace.”
“Soroc and App-DNA are dedicated to improving the way customers assess and address their application compatibility needs in changing environments such as OS migrations and virtualization,” said Mike Welling, CEO of App-DNA. “We are very pleased to be working with Soroc, who have a long established track record of successfully bringing strategic, mission-critical solutions to the Canadian and U.S. markets. We look forward to working closely with the professional teams at Soroc to help them deliver efficient and effective application compatibility solutions for their clients.”
App-DNA’s AppTitude is the industry’s first application compatibility testing solution that can help organizations to determine the optimal method of application delivery – providing a rapid assessment of 100 percent of an organization's applications. Using AppTitude helps organizations avoid the expense and delay of manual testing and provides business benefits that include vastly reducing the time, cost and risks associated with deployment of OS migrations, software upgrades, virtualization and other changes. Only AppTitude provides comprehensive and quick insight into an entire application portfolio of hundreds or even thousands of applications, including custom and internally developed applications.
