New Wise Package Studio Helps Improve Software Security and
Stability Prevent Patch Deployment Disasters With Wise Package
Studio(R) 5.5 PLYMOUTH, Mich., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Wise Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altiris, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ATRS), today announced the release of Wise Package
Studio(R) 5.5, giving system administrators the ability to quickly
assess and test critical software patches prior to deployment. As
companies face a growing number of security threats, IT
organizations must quickly and accurately test patches and hot
fixes to ensure problem-free deployment. Introducing untested
software into a computing environment can result in lost
productivity, downtime and other unintended consequences. "IT
organizations have few responsibilities more important than keeping
computer systems secure," said Steve Morton, Altiris VP of product
management. "Altiris addresses security with integrated solutions
that are aligned with best practices for vulnerability assessment,
patch management, testing and rollback. "Patch-and-pray is no
longer an acceptable strategy for deploying patches. System
administrators know that patches can do more harm than good when
deployed in a complex, interdependent software environment. Wise
Package Studio 5.5 provides the tools to help ensure reliable,
quick and efficient patch deployment." According to Gartner
research, "Because the time for QA testing is limited, it is
important to focus testing efforts on the components that are
changed by the patch. Software distribution and packaging products
that provide information about changed components can be used to
develop effective QA testing plans."* Patch impact assessment and
testing is just one of Wise Package Studio's leading application
packaging and management features. Wise Package Studio provides a
complete solution for all aspects of software packaging, including
Windows Installer (.MSI) migration, customization, conflict
management and quality assurance. More information about Wise
Package Studio is available at http://www.wise.com/wps.asp Wise
Package Studio is seamlessly integrated with Altiris(R) Client
Management Suite(TM) for reliable patch assessment, delivery and
rollback. Wise Package Studio can also be used to prepare patches
for deployment by other software distribution or patch management
products. Licensing and availability Wise Package Studio 5.5 is now
