App Assure scope now covers the new Microsoft Edge and Windows Virtual Desktop!

Microsoft takes app compatibility very seriously—and App Assure (formerly called Desktop App Assure) delivers. Consider this: The actual failure rate for apps is only 0.19 percent. So, out of 1,000 apps, only two may have compatibility challenges, and the App Assure team will fix both of them!

 

Since this service launched, almost 500,000 apps have been evaluated and only 928 apps have had issues. Fixing these application issues has prevented more than 30 million help desk escalations with an estimated customer help desk savings of almost US$6 billion.

 

The App Assure service from FastTrack was renamed to reflect our expanded scope. Initially, we helped you remediate application compatibility issues as you moved to Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus. Now, App Assure provides remediation assistance for apps deployed on the following Microsoft products:

 

The new Microsoft Edge

If your web apps or sites work on Internet Explorer 11, supported versions of Google Chrome, or any version of Microsoft Edge, they’ll also work on the new Microsoft Edge.

 

Windows Virtual Desktop

As part of Windows Virtual Desktop:

  • Virtualized apps that run on Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) also run on Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session.
  • Apps running on any Windows 7 or Windows 10 virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment also run on Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise.
  • Apps running on Windows 7 or Windows 10 client devices also run on Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise.

 

And we will continue to support Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus

Apps that worked on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Office 2010, and Office 2013 will also work on Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus.

 

To ensure compatibility for the above products, App Assure is included in your eligible subscription at no additional cost to you and is available globally, in 10 supported languages. If you want more information:
