Deliver application updates faster and more reliably across your enterprise, while dramatically reducing manual workload. Automate packaging and testing for up to 80% of your applications, so your team can focus on the complex applications that resist automation.
With hundreds of applications in constant need of updates, managing it all manually can be overwhelming, exposing your organization to security risks and reducing agility.
Managing application updates manually is inefficient and prone to errors. Delays in deployment can disrupt your business operations and reduce productivity. Manual processes also increase the risk of misconfigurations and inconsistencies, negatively impacting user experience.
When applications are not kept up to date, the likelihood of being exposed to a security vulnerability disclosed increases. Outdated software often contain known vulnerabilities, making your organization a target for cyberattacks. This can compromise sensitive data, damage the company's reputation, and lead to costly compliance violations.
IT teams face constant pressure to maintain their entire application estate. Too often, enterprises have to compromise—managing only some applications or patching only the most critical—to keep workloads under control. Automation changes that. It empowers your team to handle more without the risk of leaving segments of your application estate unprotected.
Juriba App Readiness automates application packaging and testing, speeding up updates and making them more reliable. By streamlining workflows and leveraging command-line automation, it cuts down on manual tasks.
Seamlessly integrating with your endpoint management systems like Intune and MECM and virtual environments like VMWare vCenter and Microsoft Azure, it scales application management without increasing your workload.

Still have questions? Here are the most commonly asked questions we get about Juriba App Readiness.
Yes, App Readiness fully supports migrating applications from MECM to Intune. For Intune, the Win32 application type is ideal when transitioning apps from MECM. These applications are packaged in the .intunewin format. A key part of the migration process involves converting MECM apps into Intune-compatible Win32 packages. App Readiness streamlines this by importing applications from MECM, converting them into the .intunewin format, and publishing them directly to Intune. Additionally, it offers the capability to perform smoke testing on the Intune packages before publishing, ensuring a smooth transition. With App Readiness, the entire migration workflow from MECM to Intune is efficiently managed end-to-end.
App Readiness supports the creation of several package types to suit different deployment needs. When vendor-supplied packages have adequate command line support, these command lines can be directly used within App Readiness for smoke testing and publishing to endpoint management systems like Intune and Configuration Manager. Specifically for vendor MSI packages, transforms (.MST) can be created using either pre-configured customization options or manual customization. Additionally, the vendor command line can be used to wrap packages with PSADT or convert them to the .intunewin format, which is optimal for deployment via Microsoft Intune.
However, when vendor-supplied packages lack sufficient command-line support, App Readiness supports repackaging those applications into one of the following formats: MSI, MSIX, MSIX App Attach, or App-V. These package formats can then be smoke-tested and published to your endpoint management system for deployment in enterprise environments.
Yes, App Readiness supports public package repositories via Juriba KB, which offers much more than just a basic package repository. Juriba KB is an intelligent, self-learning repository of application data that continuously evolves by collecting and suggesting command lines for various applications. As more applications are processed, Juriba KB becomes increasingly accurate by learning from smoke test results. It provides success rates for smoke tests performed alongside the command line suggestions, enabling you to quickly identify the most effective command lines.
Juriba KB leverages public repositories like WinGet; however, the quality of recommendations from these public sources may vary. To address this, Juriba KB adopts a more curated approach with a strong focus on quality, ensuring that the command lines and application data provided meet the highest deployment efficiency and reliability standards.
Yes, App Readiness can help you adopt MSIX as part of your application management/modernization strategy. It supports repackaging existing application formats (such as MSI, EXE, or custom setups) into MSIX. Here's how App Readiness facilitates MSIX adoption:
Repackage to MSIX: If your current applications are not already in MSIX format, App Readiness can repackage them into MSIX, helping you take advantage of its modern, containerized installation process. This can be performed manually, or automatically (leveraging vendor command-line support).
Editing MSIX Packages: App Readiness provides the capability to edit MSIX packages, allowing you to make modifications as needed.
PSF Fixups: App Readiness can automatically apply relevant Package Support Framework (PSF) fixups, ensuring that the output MSIX packages are ready for deployment. If desired, you can optionally choose to manually apply PSF fixups to correct issues identified when attempting to leverage MSIX.
Smoke Testing: After packaging into MSIX, you can run smoke tests within App Readiness to validate the package’s behavior in a test environment, ensuring that the application installs, executes, and uninstalls as expected.
MSIX App Attach Support: If you're working in a virtual desktop environment, App Readiness supports creating MSIX App Attach.
The packages created in App Readiness can be utilized in several ways:
Smoke Testing: Packages can be smoke tested to validate that installations, uninstalls, and shortcuts function correctly. This quick sanity check helps identify any immediate issues, and the process is documented with screenshots and videos for evidence.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Conduct functional testing of the application through User Acceptance Testing (UAT). This ensures the application meets user requirements and functions as intended. Screenshots can be captured during testing to provide a visual record of the application's performance.
Publish to Intune and MECM: Packages can be published directly to Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) for deployment to endpoints, ensuring streamlined application distribution across your organization.
By leveraging these capabilities, App Readiness ensures that the packages are not only deployable but also verified for quality and functionality before they reach end-users.
