Enterprise IT has transformed the way applications are provisioned, managed, and delivered. Microsoft's Autopilot, Intune, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Windows 365 represent technologies that are more advanced than ever.

In his latest blog, Rory Monaghan examines why application packaging technologies and approaches have lagged behind the rest of the IT ecosystem, as well as what it takes to modernize them for the needs of today's enterprises.
