“If enterprises cannot allocate appropriate resources for packaging and extensive testing, outsourcing should be considered” – Gartner Group

Element IS Consulting Service was formed in 2004 by a group of IT consultants who have worked for companies such as Unilever North America, Pfizer, Schick, AXA, Federal Reserve Bank of NY, XL America, Kaiser Permanente, Swiss Re and others.

“Don't scrimp on application packaging. SMS will take care of itself after deployment, so the majority of your effort will be in packaging applications to deploy. Invest the majority of staffing in the packaging and testing elements to provide greater first-delivery success. Regardless of the software deployment tool, if the application isn't packaged correctly to install without damaging the system, it will fail!” – Bill Anderson, Microsoft SMS lead product manager
