Rimo3

Rimo3 is a technology company that provides an intelligent, automated platform designed to streamline and modernize Windows application lifecycle management for enterprises.

Its flagship solution, Workspace360™, addresses the challenges IT teams face in migrating, modernizing, and managing applications across diverse environments—physical, virtual, or cloud-based—such as Windows 10, Windows 11, Microsoft Intune, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), and Windows 365.

Rimo3’s platform—available on Azure Marketplace and through partnerships with Microsoft and others—stands as a cornerstone for implementing intelligent, lifecycle-focused workspace management, directly addressing the demands of virtual workplaces with scalable, secure, and efficient technology.

By leveraging automation, Rimo3 reduces the time, cost, risk, and complexity associated with application management, enabling organizations to adapt quickly to technological changes while maintaining security and user productivity.

Core Components of the Rimo3 Solution

Rimo3’s platform offers a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to application management through several key features, often branded with a “360” suffix to highlight their integrated value. These components work together to automate and simplify the entire application lifecycle:

• Discover360: Application Discovery and Assessment: Rimo3 automatically extracts detailed metadata from an organization’s application portfolio at scale. This process identifies application dependencies, compatibility, and readiness for modern environments or formats (e.g., MSIX, Win32).
  It provides insights into how applications will behave in new operating systems or deployment scenarios, such as Windows 11 or multi-session virtual desktops, helping IT teams plan migrations with data-driven confidence.
• Package360: Automated Packaging and Modernization: The platform converts legacy application packages (e.g., MSI, scripts, or SCCM packages) into modern formats like MSIX, Win32 for Intune, Liquidware FlexApp One, or Omnissa AppVolumes. It includes automated remediation features, such as applying Package Support Framework (PSF) fixes via integration with tools like TMEditX, to resolve compatibility issues without manual intervention. This ensures applications are production-ready for deployment across physical, virtual, or cloud workspaces.
• Validate360: Automated Testing and Validation: Rimo3 conducts unattended, intelligent “smoke testing” to verify application functionality, performance, and compatibility in target environments before deployment. It generates detailed logs, screenshots, and videos of test results, pinpointing exactly where and why failures occur, which eliminates guesswork and speeds up troubleshooting.
  Validation extends to patch testing, ensuring updates don’t disrupt application stability or user experience.
• Patch360: Pre-Built Application Catalog and Patch Management: Rimo3 offers a growing catalog of over 6,400 applications and 24,000+ installers (as of late 2024), pre-packaged and ready for import into Workspace360. Examples include popular tools like Citrix Workspace or Adobe Reader. IT admins can select specific versions and automate the import of updates, reducing manual packaging efforts and ensuring applications remain current with minimal downtime.

Integration and Deployment Options

Rimo3 seamlessly integrates with Microsoft ecosystem tools like Intune, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Windows 365, as well as third-party platforms like Omnissa (VMware) Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and Nerdio. It supports exporting packages directly to Intune or other endpoint management systems, streamlining deployment workflows.

How Rimo3 Solves Key Challenges

Rimo3 tackles several pain points that enterprises encounter in application management:

• Migration from SCCM to Intune: Rimo3 automates the transition of application packages from Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM) to Intune, preserving custom configurations and dependencies. It tests apps on modern OS versions and converts them into Intune-compatible formats, offering a smooth shift to cloud-based management.
• Modernization of Legacy Apps: By transforming outdated packages into formats like MSIX or Win32, Rimo3 ensures compatibility with modern Windows environments and virtual desktops, reducing reliance on legacy infrastructure.
• Scalability and Speed: Traditional manual packaging and testing can take weeks or months, especially for large application estates. Rimo3’s automation scales to handle hundreds or thousands of apps 24/7, cutting deployment timelines dramatically.
• Risk Reduction: Pre-deployment validation and patch testing minimize the risk of application failures, downtime, or security vulnerabilities, which can cost organizations significantly (e.g., one Rimo3 customer faced $360,000 daily losses from app failures).
• Evergreen IT: Rimo3 enables continuous management of applications, keeping workspaces up-to-date with OS upgrades, security patches, and new app versions without disrupting operations.

Deployment Models

Rimo3 offers flexibility in how its solution is implemented:

• Standalone Deployment: A simple, browser-based setup where all processing occurs in Rimo3’s cloud tenant.
• Azure-Linked Deployment: Combines components in the customer’s Azure tenant (e.g., Gateway and Task Runner VMs) with Rimo3’s cloud infrastructure for enhanced control and security.

Benefits of Rimo3

• Time Savings: Automates repetitive tasks, freeing IT teams to focus on strategic priorities.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces operational overhead and the need for extensive manual labor or third-party consultants.
• Improved User Experience: Ensures applications work seamlessly post-migration or update, boosting productivity.
• Security and Compliance: Proactively validates patches and updates, maintaining a secure and compliant environment.
• Future-Readiness: Prepares organizations for cloud-first and hybrid workspaces with a predictive, intelligent approach.

Rimo3 collaborates with industry leaders like Microsoft (a certified Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 partner), Omnissa, Citrix, HP, and Liquidware. These partnerships enhance its capabilities, such as integrating with Intune or supporting advanced virtualization platforms, ensuring broad compatibility and support.

Rimo3’s solution is a game-changer for enterprises seeking to modernize their Windows application management. By automating discovery, packaging, testing, and deployment, it eliminates the trade-offs between speed, security, and stability that IT teams often face.

Whether migrating from SCCM to Intune, onboarding apps to virtual desktops, or maintaining an evergreen workspace, Rimo3 delivers a fast, predictive, and intelligent platform that empowers organizations to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
