But I'm interested right now, can you help?

Yes, a lot of the module functionality already exists in our Web based product (ACM). For more information contact us at appTitude@camwood.com


How does appTitude understand all these key issues?

appTitude imports applications into its database through an automated process, effectively building an "application DNA" store. appTitude then applies algorithms to that "application DNA" and identifies key behavioural issues to produce the reporting information. By having a deep level of understanding of these applications appTitude can draw comparisons and run pre-deployment scenarios with outstanding success.

How do I get my applications into the appTitude database and what does this mean?

Applications need to be loaded into the appTitude database in order for it to process its business logic against them. This can be done in a number of ways. appTitude currently supports the .MSI format but from November 2007 will also support the import all unattended installation formats such as setup.exe.&&In addition to this, application repositories like SMS, Wise Package Studio or Macrovision's Admin Studio can automatically be imported from.


How much is it and how does the licensing work?

The appTitude licence fee is free as long as you are subscribed to one or more of the modules. This licence entitles you to all updates to the platform.

What do I get for my subscription?

Module subscriptions give you the benefit of constant updates, so as we learn, you learn. However, one thing is for certain, change! Change always happens and we aim to be at the forefront of that change for our customers.
