Case Study: Vitria achieves 75% faster installer development and improved user experience with Flexera InstallAnywhere

Vitria Enhancing the User Experience Starting with the Installation Process

Vitria, a California-based provider of business process integration software since 1994, faced a growing maintenance and quality problem: its development team had to custom-build and support multiple installer versions for each product and operating system, creating duplicate code bases, introducing bugs, and tying up engineering resources that delayed product releases and increased costs. The company sought a single-source, standardized installer approach to simplify development, reduce defects, and speed time to market.

After evaluating alternatives, Vitria prototyped and adopted Flexera’s InstallAnywhere, which provided most required features out of the box and eliminated the need for custom installer code. The move cut installer development effort by about 75%, produced installers with fewer bugs, reduced end-user installation time by 15–25%, and removed installation as a delivery bottleneck while improving overall product quality and consistency.
