NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ReadyWorks, a leading digital platform conductor (DPC) provider, and Access IT Automation, an industry leader in automated application packaging and testing, today announced their technological partnership to fully automate Windows lifecycle management.

Combining ReadyWorks capabilities – data integration, analysis, workflow orchestration and automation – with Access IT Automation's application testing provides enterprises with an end-to-end solution that reduces the risk, cost and effort associated with the ongoing implementation of new Windows versions and updates, especially as enterprises begin to roll out Windows 11 to its users in 2022.

"Understanding application compatibility with the latest Windows version is critical to minimizing business disruption during the migration process," said Andrew Sweeney, ReadyWorks Co-Founder and Co-CEO. "ReadyWorks connects to other IT and business systems to analyse information about endpoints, users, and applications, identifies risk and readiness, and automates the tasks needed to complete the migration – everything from end-user communications to scheduling to giving the command to other systems to execute the upgrade once all readiness criteria are met. Access IT Automation integrates very nicely into this process by automating the testing of these applications and then communicating to ReadyWorks that an application has been tested and will work with the latest Windows version."

"Our combined emphasis on leveraging automation for Windows servicing allows enterprise to reduce labor costs and accelerate OS updates to meet security and compliance requirements," said Tony Head, Access IT Automation CEO. "We're really excited about what this partnership means for customers who need a more agile, efficient approach to keeping pace with the annual cadence of Windows updates."

The convergence of several factors – increases in IT project backlog, labor and skills shortage, and anywhere operations – is driving companies to adopt technologies that help them overcome these challenges. ReadyWorks and Access IT Automation's partnership will help increase program efficiency and productivity while alleviating IT frustration.
