IT teams today are tasked with an enormous challenge in keeping applications deployment-ready in an environment where constant system updates, security patches, and infrastructure changes create a never-ending cycle of validation and testing. Each update presents various risks. Will critical applications still function? Will end users experience disruptions? Will deployment delays impact business operations?
The traditional approach to application readiness involves weeks or even months of manual testing, repackaging, and deployment planning. This outdated process creates inefficiencies, frustrates IT teams, and introduces security and compliance risks.
With the new ReadyWorks + Access Capture integration, IT leaders can now eliminate these bottlenecks and fully automate application readiness. ReadyWorks orchestrates IT change, while Access Capture automates application packaging, smoke testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT). The result is a seamless, hands-free process that ensures applications are always deployment-ready.
The Hidden Cost of Manual Application Readiness
Even in organizations with mature IT practices, manual application validation remains a resource drain. Consider the following challenges:
- Application packaging and validation are often performed manually, requiring extensive IT intervention.
- Deployment delays impact business productivity, as employees wait for critical applications to be validated post-update.
- IT teams must conduct time-consuming regression testing to ensure compatibility with updated operating systems.
- Compliance tracking is inconsistent, making it difficult to verify that applications meet enterprise and security standards.
These inefficiencies add up quickly, costing organizations time, money, and resources that could be allocated to more strategic initiatives.
How ReadyWorks + Access Capture Integration Works
By combining ReadyWorks’ IT orchestration capabilities with Access Capture’s automated application readiness, organizations can now ensure seamless application lifecycle management.
- ReadyWorks detects applications requiring validation as part of a scheduled IT change.
- Access Capture automatically triggers repackaging, smoke testing, and UAT across multiple OS versions.
- Applications are validated and pushed into ReadyWorks deployment workflows for hands-free rollout.
- Every step is logged and tracked within ReadyWorks, ensuring compliance and visibility.
Key Benefits of This Integration
This integration is designed to help IT teams scale and streamline their operations by providing:
- End-to-end application readiness automation, reducing manual intervention.
- Faster deployment timelines with proactive validation of applications.
- Stronger security and compliance through automated tracking and audit logs.
- Improved IT efficiency, freeing up teams to focus on high-value projects.
- Increased business continuity by ensuring applications work post-update.
IT teams that leverage automation for application readiness can reduce their manual workload, allowing them to focus on innovation rather than troubleshooting.
Take the Next Step Toward IT Automation
As IT complexity grows, organizations need orchestration and automation to work together. The ReadyWorks + Access Capture integration ensures that applications are validated before deployment, reducing downtime and risk.
