In 2010, App-DNA was named overall Citrix Synergy Best of Show award winner after winning the Process Improvement award category. App-DNA is the developer of the AppTitude application intelligence software platform that helps enterprises worldwide save time, cost and risk in managing applications for Citrix XenDesktop XenApp, Microsoft App-V, Windows 7, Internet Explorer, VDI and Windows Server 2008 initiatives.

Using application intelligence derived from each application’s DNA, AppTitude combines application insight and business information to guide better decision making for migration projects and new technology initiatives. AppTitude provides automated application testing and remediation, plus the power to integrate user and device information, model delivery options, and automate application preparation.

AppTitude shows the best forward path for delivering an enterprise’s applications to end users.

App-DNA provides a Citrix XenDesktop-based hands-on test drive version of the award-winning AppTitude software, available on the App-DNA website.
