Internal IT
Constant changes to underlying operating systems, packages, and deployment methods mean no application estate remains unchanged for long. Staying on top of developments can be slow and costly.
We’ll do the heavy lifting
It makes sense to allocate application packaging to the specialists and stay on top of your project. And with Algiz Technology, you’re always in control.
We can help you at all stages of your packaging project. The only thing you need to do is provide the source media for the applications. This could be installation CDs or applications stored on your network. Once we have that we can take the load off your shoulders.
Working with you, and your partners
We can work with you directly but also hand-in-hand with your existing technology partners.
So, if you have an existing arrangement with a local or global System Integrator, let us know and we’ll work through them to make everything run more smoothly.
No app left behind!
Your application estate is unique to you, that’s why Algiz combines automation AND manual packaging expertise to convert and secure ALL OF YOUR ESTATE.

An unexpected uplift in your application packaging workload or not having the relevant skills in-house can be more than just an annoying inconvenience, it delays projects, and the knock-on effects can be painfully expensive.
Project hold-ups?
Not having specialist packaging skills in-house can affect your relationship with your clients in two ways. Firstly, it means you miss the opportunity to help them with their migration or virtualization project and the revenue that generates for you. Secondly, if you do start, but the project grinds to a halt because of packaging, it can have a knock-on effect on your relationship.
Partner with Algiz Technology early on in the process, and you get to miss out on the finger-pointing and angry emails when projects falter.
Working with you, and your clients
We can help you at all stages of your packaging project. We can work directly with your client to hunt down source media, package and test applications, and give you regular updates on how things are progressing and where we need your assistance.
You can be as hands-on or off as you want, but we know that our success comes from keeping your clients happy, and with Algiz Technology, you’re always in control.

Free up resources
Reduce the time you and your team spend on application management to focus on new, high impact projects and technologies.
Discovery and validation
During this phase we identify the applications that exist in your estate as well as who uses them and how. Once all the media has been identified, it is categorised and prepared for packaging.
We can provide guidelines if discovery is something you wish to do in-house.
Application packaging
Applications are packaged by our team in the UK where there is also an option to have dedicated resources on-site.
Packaging for international clients is performed remotely.
Quality assurance
Every package you receive is accompanied by documentation which provides details of the package construction and a completed quality assurance checklist.
Packages may also include additional documentation that we feel would help you with deployment in a live environment.
Testing and deployment
Once we have tested the applications on your chosen platform we release them for comprehensive testing by clients.
By agreeing and adhering to packaging standards we ensure a very high standard of packaging and acceptance.
The leaky bucket approach
Your migration or application packaging project has a lot of dependencies, and it’s just madness to get all of your packaged applications on day one. You may not be ready for them. In fact, by the time you get to the last application, it may already be out of date and need packaging again!
We make sure applications are packaged and delivered to you when you’re ready for them. We don’t flood you with apps you can’t use just yet. Source media goes in at the top and packaged applications trickle down to you just when you need them.
Pay-Per-App pricing
All packages have one simple, ‘per-app’ cost. This helps reduce the risk of budget over-runs once your discovery phase is complete because complexity is no longer a limiting factor.
There’s no limit on the number of applications we can package either. You can start with one or a handful, and then request more when you need them packaged.
We use a combination of onsite and remote packaging to keep your costs down and get more applications into you hands when you need them

Application packaging FAQs
As a global application packaging specialist with clients across the UK, Europe, the USA, and Australia, we deliver secure, expert packaging services that streamline software deployment, Intune migrations, and modern application management. Our solutions are designed for organisations seeking predictable, scalable, and compliant application delivery—wherever they operate. This comprehensive FAQ addresses the most common questions we encounter, offering clear answers to guide your strategy.
You’ve found one. Algiz Technology is a UK-based specialist in enterprise application packaging, recognised for our technical excellence, security-first methodology, and proven track record with businesses and public sector organisations. We offer a reliable partnership, ensuring your applications are packaged to the highest industry standards for seamless deployment.
Algiz Technology offers a highly flexible Pay-Per-Application model. This is ideal for organisations without a consistent workflow to justify a full-time internal hire. You only pay for the specific packages you require, providing significant cost efficiency and immediate access to senior-level expertise without the overhead of recruitment, training, or software licensing.
The optimal choice depends on your workload, in-house expertise, and strategic goals.
Outsourcing is typically more effective for variable workloads, a lack of in-house specialists, clearing significant backlogs, or reducing fixed operational costs. It provides immediate scalability and access to deep expertise.
An in-house team may be preferable only if you have a very high, constant volume of packages and require minute-by-minute control.
For many organisations, a hybrid model proves most effective: outsourcing complex projects and backlogs while managing simple, routine updates internally.
Yes, absolutely. At Algiz Technology, our expertise is platform-agnostic. We are proficient in creating robust, deployment-ready packages for all modern enterprise solutions, including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Intune. We understand the specific technical requirements of each, such as creating .intunewin files for Intune Win32 apps, and specialise in building cross-compatible packages for a unified deployment strategy.
Our end-to-end service is comprehensive and adheres to strict ITIL-aligned principles. It includes:
Requirement Gathering & Scoping: Detailed analysis of your specific needs and deployment environment.
Packaging & Conversion: Transformation of native installers into standardised MSI, MSIX, or App-V formats.
Custom Scripting: Implementation of PowerShell, VBScript, or install script actions for complex logic, dependencies, and pre-requisite checks.
Silent Installation Engineering: Guaranteeing a completely hands-free, reliable deployment for enterprise tools.
Rigorous Testing & Validation: A multi-stage process covering functionality, compatibility, and clean uninstall behaviour.
Comprehensive Documentation: A full manifest detailing dependencies, system changes, and custom logic.
Secure Handover: Delivery of the final, production-ready package and all associated artefacts.
Legacy applications often lack native support for modern management. We repackage them by creating a new, clean installer (typically MSI or MSIX) that encapsulates all necessary files, registry entries, and custom actions. This process ensures the application can be deployed silently and managed effectively within Intune or SCCM, without user intervention.
This is a core competency of our service. We analyse the problematic installer to identify the root cause—be it a hidden dialog box, a missing system dependency, or incorrect command-line switches. We then repackage or transform the application to ensure a fully silent install (/quiet /norestart), a fundamental requirement for any enterprise deployment tool.
We employ a meticulous, best-practice approach for both:
– MSIX Packaging: We use the MSIX Packaging Tool and PowerShell for advanced customisation, moving beyond simple repackaging. We correctly define package capabilities and modifiers, manage registry and file system virtualisation, and ensure the application functions correctly within the MSIX containerised environment, enhancing security and reliability.
– App-V Sequencing: We perform a clean capture on a pristine reference machine, carefully sequencing the application to include all dependencies while excluding OS-specific files. The virtualised package undergoes extensive testing to ensure correct interaction with the operating system and other applications.
In most cases, a well-constructed MSI or MSIX package is inherently cross-compatible. The primary difference for Intune is the requirement to wrap the installer in an .intunewin file using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool. We architect our packages with this portability in mind, often delivering a single, standardised package that can be deployed across both SCCM and Intune, maximising your return on investment.
We deploy a rigorous, multi-layered testing protocol:
– Sandbox Installation: Testing the installation on a clean, virtualised operating system.
– Functional Validation: Verifying the application launches and its core features operate as expected.
– Compatibility & Conflict Testing: Testing across different OS versions (e.g., Windows 10/11) and alongside other critical applications.
– Uninstall Verification: Confirming the application removes itself cleanly without leaving residual files, folders, or registry entries. efacts.
Yes. Handling complex and vendor-specific software is a specialty at Algiz Technology. We possess the deep technical knowledge required to manage custom deployment logic, driver dependencies, complex licensing frameworks, and multi-component installations that standard packaging tools often fail to process correctly.
Timelines are dependent on application complexity.
A standard, well-behaved application is typically completed within 1-2 business days.
More complex applications requiring custom scripting or dealing with vendor-specific challenges may take 3-5 business days.
We provide a clear estimated timeline following an initial scoping assessment. on.
Absolutely. Backlog clearance is one of our most requested services. We can rapidly mobilise our team to work through your queue, applying our standardised, efficient processes to deliver production-ready packages, thereby freeing your internal IT staff to focus on strategic business initiatives. tool.
We treat application packages as valuable corporate assets. Every package includes comprehensive documentation detailing dependencies, file and registry changes, and uninstall behaviour. We implement strict version control for all packages, ensuring clear audit trails and straightforward upgrade paths when new application versions are released.
Outsourcing to Algiz Technology converts a significant fixed cost (full-time salary, benefits, training, software licenses) into a predictable, variable operational expense. You gain access to expert-level output without the associated overheads, while our efficiency also reduces the time-to-deployment, delivering indirect cost savings.
The most effective method is to adopt and enforce a single, well-defined set of packaging standards. We collaborate with your team to define or refine these standards—covering naming conventions, documentation templates, and scripting rules—and apply them consistently to every package we deliver. This brings order, predictability, and resilience to your software estate.
Yes, Algiz Technology has considerable experience supporting public sector clients across the UK. We are well-versed in the specific compliance, security (including Cyber Essentials principles), and procurement frameworks required by government and related organisations.
Without a doubt. By delegating the resource-intensive task of packaging to our specialists, your internal teams can concentrate on higher-value activities such as configuring Intune compliance policies, refining SCCM collections, and managing the deployment lifecycle. This parallel workflow dramatically accelerates your overall migration or modernisation project timelines.
What experience do you have with application packaging?
Our team of packaging experts has delivered 1,000s of high-quality applications for customers ranging from SMEs to multinationals and across all industry sectors. For UK clients, we can provide both ‘off-site’ and ‘on-site’ services. For US and EU customers, we provide ‘off-site’ application packaging services.
What type of applications can you package?
We can take any type of working application in any file type, whether it be vendor, in-house or not even in installer form and turn it into a Microsoft Installer or virtualised application.
What information will you need to package applications?
As much information as possible always helps, but to make it easier we have created a simple application discovery template which you can use to speed up the discovery phase.
Algiz will be happy to assist with discovery as part of the service if desired.
Will I have to replace existing application packagers?
No. We work best in conjunction with your in-house team. It makes our lives easier because they know your network and are best placed to perform UAT. If you don’t have in-house packagers then we can still do the discovery and testing tasks, as well as the packaging, for you.
Is there a different cost based on application complexity?
Not at all. All packages have one simple, ‘per-app’ cost. This helps reduce the risk of budget over-runs once your discovery phase is complete because complexity is no longer a limiting factor.
How easy will it be to manage your packages?
We adhere to industry best practices when packaging applications.
Self repair and removal – application features built into our created installers provide automatic issue resolution in the event of user changes. The MSI is aware that files have been changed and will attempt to automatically fix itself.
Clean un-install – built-in features let you cleanly remove our applications when the product reaches end of life. This eliminates the chances of files or folders causing issues on the machine once an application is no longer required.
