Application Virtualisation : An Application for the 21st Century

• Reduced Support Calls
  As the applications are running in their own virtual environment, they will not be able to have any impact on each other, meaning less application downtime and so increase desktop worker efficiency.

• An Application Migration for the 21^st Century
  Whenever there has been any migration, whether it has been an upgrade to a new desktop OS or an upgrade of the application. 
  
  There has always been teething problems. Now you simply install the new desktop O/S and deploy the required application modules. As mentioned before there is no need for any uninstall procedures or cleaning up the registry for old settings because the application virtualisation will not have affected the O/S registry in the first place.
