Immidio Flex Profiles 7.5 provides three instant-on solutions helping to quickly solve the most common profile management challenges:
- Remove the legacy from previous application implementations and de-installations with the Profile Cleanup feature
- Reduce the size of end-user profiles instantly with Windows Common Settings and Application Templates
- Prepare applications to be managed through Immidio Flex Profiles 7.5 with a configuration wizard, providing the intuitive guide to get started
- Instantly improve logon and logoff times drastically by enabling the DirectFlex feature
Flex Profiles 7.5 decouples user-specific desktop and application settings from the Windows operating system, making them available across multiple devices, Windows versions and application instances. A decoupled user profile is independent from the traditional Windows user profiles and allows for easy introduction of virtualization technologies and new application delivery mechanisms. Additionally, it enables painless Windows upgrades, like migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. More information about Flex Profiles 7 here, after registration you can download an evaluation here.
