PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
APaaS
Next up in our series focusing on our partners is APaaS. We have been working closely with them for a few years now since we first encountered them at a mutual customer. The team are a delight to work with and are ardent fans and users of ManagementStudio. Building on our original AppTracker solution, APaaS has our platform baked into their processes. Below is an overview of the services they offer.
APaaS has been a leader in the application packaging market for over eight years, founded by directors with extensive global leadership experience in large enterprises. They identified a gap in the industry and developed a unique application packaging methodology that allows clients to access services without the heavy burden of costly setup fees, licensing, or complex infrastructure requirements. This innovative approach provides a single, unit-based pricing model that supports various application formats (MSI, MSIX, AppV, Intunewin, etc.), offering clients flexible and budget-friendly solutions. Whether supporting existing BAU teams or managing urgent projects, APaaS enables clients to pay only for the services they use, minimising budget risk while delivering exceptional value throughout the application lifecycle.
Our partnership with ManagementStudio has proven highly effective
As the digital landscape evolves, APaaS has expanded its service offerings to include cutting-edge solutions such as Intune Migrations, MDM, Autopilot, 3rd Line Service Support, and legacy application modernisation for Windows 10/11. Their Software Asset Management (SAM) tooling, particularly for Microsoft 365 license optimisation, is revolutionising the way applications and licenses are monitored and managed. With the ability to track application usage down to the minute, APaaS helps clients rationalise their IT estate before migrations, especially in complex industries like civil engineering, where suites like Autodesk are common. This data-driven approach allows clients to make informed decisions on application procurement, while M365 optimisation ensures that each user is assigned the most appropriate license, making transitions from E5 to E3 licenses as easy as “ABC”. To complete this lifecycle APaaS also have the functionality to provide license procurement with a tier 1 support system to ensure all their clients get the most optimised pricing whether is annual or monthly subscriptions.
For over eight years, APaaS has utilised the ManagementStudio solution to streamline application tracking and management for their clients. This collaboration has allowed them to provide full transparency into every stage of the application process, enabling clients to monitor where their applications are in the workflow with ease. The use of the ManagementStudio platform has been pivotal in delivering precise and reliable updates, ensuring their clients have a clear understanding of their application status at all times.
Building on this success, APaaS has expanded the scope of ManagementStudio to cover APaaS Modern IT Support functions, introducing a more efficient and transparent ticketing system for clients. This enhancement ensures clear, consistent tracking of support requests, further improving the service experience. “Our partnership with ManagementStudio has proven highly effective, and we remain committed to evolving and enhancing this collaboration to meet the growing needs of our clients in the years to come.”
With ManagementStudio in their portfolio APaaS is delivering customer excellence at a very cost-effective price point.
