ChangeBASE: ChangeBASE Is Verified As Citrix Ready

ChangeBASE, the global leader in automated application compatibility testing and remediation, today announced that its AOK software has been verified as Citrix Ready®. The Citrix Ready program helps customers identify third-party solution that are recommended to enhance virtualization, networking and cloud computing solutions from Citrix. ChangeBASE completed a rigorous verification process to ensure compatibility with Citrix products, providing confidence in joint solution compatibility.

The Citrix Ready program makes it easy for customers to identify complementary products and solutions that can enhance Citrix environments. Customers can be confident that the AOK software provided by ChangeBASE has successfully passed a series of tests established by Citrix, and can be trusted to work effectively with Citrix products in order to test and remediate MSI and web application compatibility.

The latest software release by ChangeBASE, AOK 4.1, includes AOK VReady-It – an automated solution which converts entire MSI application portfolios to virtual platforms. Having first used AOK Virtualise-It to automatically test native applications for virtual compatibility with a chosen target platform, and also to automatically fix many of the issues found, AOK VReady-It can then be used to automatically convert fixed applications to the chosen virtualized format.

“We are pleased to have ChangeBASE join us in the Citrix Ready program,” said Joe Keller, vice president of alliance and community marketing at Citrix Systems, Inc. “Citrix Ready makes it easier for customers to select the most suitable virtualization infrastructure products for their specific need. By taking part in our program, ChangeBASE has enabled its customers to obtain the highest quality user experience available today, and the simplest means for making an informed product purchasing selection.”

“As a member of the Citrix ready program, we are able to offer customers intelligent solutions that use the functionality of ChangeBASE’s AOK software to accelerate the move towards virtualized infrastructures using Citrix solutions’’, said John Tate, MD, ChangeBASE. “The offering clearly demonstrates our plans to work closely with trusted partners, through the Citrix Ready partner ecosystem, in order to provide the highest quality experience for our customers.”
