Dashworks - Implementation

Dashworks is enterprise software built on standard Microsoft technology for ease of implementation. Our simple 3-step process ensures that dashworks is delivering value immediately after installation. Our expert team will help you through each stage, ensuring minimum disruption, senior level support and ease of installation.

Step 1 - Connect To Infrastructure

Following initial install, use the dashworks management console, set up connectors to your desktop infrastructure repositories.

MSI Package Store

If you are using different technology from that specified above, that's fine. We're continually developing connectors to expand our portfolio of supported products. Just contact us to discuss your requirements.

Step 2 - Set Your Environment Rules (Migration Management)

Set hardware rules for the migration (e.g. Less Than 1Gb Memory = Red)
Set a Red, Amber, Green or unknown (default) compatibility status for the applications (This can be via an automated feed from AppDNA's AppTitude application compatibility product)

Step 3 - Set Data Refresh & Security

Configure data refresh intervals (default = nightly)
Link to Active Directory access group (if required)
