Product Information

In today’s agile business world, employees want 24x7 self-service access to the Windows applications they need. Manually assigning applications to users is a time-consuming and costly activity. With Immidio AppScriber, users activate applications in a secure self-service manner, without administrator intervention. All a user needs to do is browse or search for the application he or she needs, and subscribe or unsubscribe with one click. The IT department remains in control over which applications are made available, but no longer assigns these applications manually, resulting in a significant reduction of cost and labor.

Immidio AppScriber extends the most popular application deployment solutions, such as Microsoft Installer (MSI) with Group Policies, Microsoft App-V, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, Microsoft RemoteApp programs (as provided with Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS), Citrix XenApp application publishing, Citrix application streaming and Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution.

How it Works

Based on Active Directory security groups, Immidio AppScriber lets administrators define a list of applications from which users can select their own application set. Once a user subscribes to an application, Immidio AppScriber triggers the underlying application deployment solution for distribution.

Immidio AppScriber 2.0 reduces the workload at IT departments by introducing delegated workflow-based authorization. Business users can be assigned to the new approver role to accept or reject end-user application requests without further IT involvement.
