Service datasheet

application packaging

Application packaging run as a managed service: MSIX conversion, App-V migration, app attach for Azure Virtual Desktop, and a packaging pipeline your team can actually run.

Who this is for

  • You've still got App-V packages, or an ageing packaging process, and you know MSIX is where Microsoft has gone
  • Packaging depends on one or two people who know the tricks, and the queue only moves when they're free
  • You're running Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 and want applications out of the gold image

What is included

  • MSIX packaging, conversion and repackaging
  • App-V to MSIX migration, including the parts that don't convert automatically
  • App attach image builds for Azure Virtual Desktop (VHDX and CIMFS)
  • Code-signing certificate strategy and session-host trust deployment
  • Intune Win32 and MSIX packaging and deployment rings
  • Application testing, remediation and compatibility fixes
  • CI/CD packaging pipelines built and handed over to your team
  • Legacy capture with EtherApps Forge where installers no longer exist

What we would do

Start with discovery: the list of applications actually in use is usually shorter than the list people believe and contains several nobody mentioned. Decide per application whether it is repackaged from source, converted, captured or retired, before anyone touches a packaging tool.

  • If you still hold working source media, repackage from it. A capture of a running install inherits whatever state that machine was in and needs more testing, not less.
  • If the application uses kernel drivers, services, or writes to its own Program Files directory while running, MSIX will not contain it and the answer is a different delivery mechanism.

When we are not the answer

If you have an in-house packaging team with capacity, you do not need us for volume. Where we earn our place is the applications that fail, the ones nobody can package, and the pipeline that stops it becoming manual again.

What it costs

Scoped and quoted against your estate rather than sold from a rate card. We price what you already run, including the parts that are working and do not need replacing, and the quote itemises what is included so it can be compared line by line with anyone else’s. Managed IT support starts at £40 per user, per month if that is the wider question.

The next step, if you want one

Microsoft estate review. 45 minutes, plus a written summary within three working days. You keep the written findings whether or not you engage us, and there is no sales call before it.

Not ready for that? The full service page is at https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/services/app-packaging, or call the number at the top of this sheet.

Getting out. Monthly subscriptions need one month’s written notice. Annual subscriptions run to the end of the term, and ending one early carries the balance of that term. Managed services are governed by a signed Services Agreement, which sets its own notice period and is agreed with you before you sign anything. Full terms: https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/legal/customer-terms.

Response targets and the onboarding schedule sit in that Services Agreement rather than on this sheet, because both are set against your estate and your operating pattern at scoping. Ask for them in writing before you sign, and we will put them there.
