Edijs Pērkums

I started my career in the application and desktop deployment field in 2013. Working with a highly professional and motivated team I became an expert in application packaging and mass enterprise deployments.

I mastered thousands of complex application and configuration requests from businesses in healthcare, oil & gas, and banks requiring the highest quality and error-free packages with SLAs measured in hours not days.

However, my knowledge came at a cost – time. But this doesn’t have to be your case too.

I’m gathering my experience in this one course so you and your team can save time and money.

Claudio MendesClaudio Mendes - System Administrator @ Ville de Luxembourg

I’m not sure where to start here apart from the fact that if you currently package applications within your environment then you really need to attend this course! On Day 2 of the course, I quickly worked out that I had never packaged an application correctly in my life.I’m not sure where to start here apart from the fact that if you currently package applications within your environment then you really need to attend this course! On Day 2 of the course, I quickly worked out that I had never packaged an application correctly in my life. I’ve been packaging applications for MDT/SCCM/Intune for the last 6 years and have always “got by” google being my best friend to make sure the applications for the organizations I was working with had the quality they deserved. How wrong was I? Not only do I have a better understanding around the fundamentals, troubleshooting and testing. I am now also armed with the tips and tricks that will help me speed up my packaging and get to the bottom of any issues. This course isn’t just about the tool “Master Packager” (more to come on that) but about actually understanding how everything fits and works together and what you can do as an app packager to make not only your life easier but your end users. I completely stand by, the understanding I have gained from this course will not only help save hours of time but reduce support tickets moving forward which is a complete win, win. Now the tool itself – WOW, how have I not seen or used this before. There are some huge game changers here and all I can say is please, download the tool, use it, learn it and if you want the extra advice, tips and tricks then this course if perfect for you. You will not be disappointed! There are a few standouts though for me and if you haven’t seen them, I suggest you take a look NOW and that’s firstly packaging fonts and secondly Master Wrapper with PSADT. I won’t add any spoilers as you will see for yourself but just these 2 features will save me days and I mean days packaging applications and fonts in future. Toms and Edijs, take a bow. As instructors they are brilliant, not only sharing their expertise but the knowledge and experience they have between them really makes the difference here. The slides, demos and the hands on was fantastic and gives you a real ideal of how things should be done, how to improve what you’re currently doing and how easy packages can be when you know. They are on hand constantly if your stuck during a demo or have a question and will take the time to go through everything with you. By far one of the best training courses I have ever been on and just to reiterate, if you package applications on a daily basis or once in a blue moon then I strongly suggest attending this course and gaining the invaluable experience, knowledge and expertise from these 2.

Packaging applications is so much more than finding the silent install switch. To build enterprise quality application packages, you will need training.
