Case Study: a UK-based manufacturer closes the cloud-server patching gap with Recast Software’s Application Workspace

Manufacturer speeds Autopilot to 13 minutes with Recast Software

The customer, a UK-based manufacturer, faced a significant challenge in patching third-party applications on its cloud servers, which its existing tools, Intune and SCCM, could not effectively manage. This gap left critical applications unpatched and created security risks. The manufacturer engaged Recast Software and implemented its Application Workspace product to solve this problem.

Recast Software's Application Workspace provided a solution by deploying a lightweight agent that could patch applications on cloud servers even with no user logged in. This eliminated manual processes and consolidated multiple application catalogs into a single workspace. The results were substantial: Autopilot provisioning times for heavy builds were cut from over 30 minutes to 13 minutes, and application delivery became near-instant. The manufacturer also gained improved security visibility and could finally achieve set-and-forget patching for its entire server estate.
