Unify Application & Endpoint Life cycle Management

ALICE gives IT and security teams a single, cloud-native platform to manage application governance, patching, vulnerability remediation, compliance posture and full endpoint intelligence — at scale and without infrastructure.

How ALICE Works

Stage 1
Register & Connect

From zero to visibility in days, not months.

ALICE is deployed using a lightweight, cloud-native approach. There is no on-prem infrastructure, no complex networking, and no lengthy configuration cycles.

Once installed, ALICE connects to endpoints across the organisation — on-premises, remote, and hybrid — and begins collecting application and device intelligence immediately.

Outcome:

A live connection to the entire application and endpoint estate.

Stage 2
Discover & Understand

You can’t manage what you can’t see.

ALICE performs continuous discovery to build a real-time, accurate view of the environment.

What ALICE discovers:

  • Every installed application (versions and variants)
  • Where applications are installed and who is using them
  • Hardware and software inventory
  • Configuration and OS patch posture
  • Initial vulnerability exposure

Outcome:

A single, trusted source of truth for the application estate.

Stage 3
Rationalise, Package & Modernise

Remove sprawl. Standardise at source.

Once discovery is complete, ALICE analyses the application estate to identify duplication, sprawl, outdated software, and unused applications.

When rationalisation decisions are confirmed, ALICE moves immediately into automated modernisation using its application catalogue.

What ALICE does automatically:

  • Confirms the approved application list post-rationalisation
  • Retrieves the latest supported version of each approved application
  • Automatically packages each application using modern, standardised formats
  • Deploys the latest version across the estate
  • Removes all older and vulnerable versions of the same application

This ensures only approved, current, and secure applications remain installed.

Outcome:

A clean, standardised, vulnerability-reduced application estate — ready for governance and automated lifecycle management.

Stage 4
Govern & Control

Define the rules once. Enforce them everywhere.

With a modernised application baseline in place, ALICE introduces structured lifecycle governance. Each application is classified and governed consistently moving forward.

How governance works:

  • Applications are classified as High, Medium, or Low risk
  • Low risk typically represents common, widely deployed COTS applications
  • Applications follow install → update → review → retire workflows
  • Version and deployment standards are enforced automatically
  • Compliance posture is continuously measured
  • Audit-ready reporting is always available

Outcome:

Clear ownership, standards, and accountability across the application estate.

Stage 5
Secure & Stabilise (Automated Patch Management)

Security becomes continuous, not reactive.

With governance and application standards defined, ALICE enforces application-driven automated OS patch management. Patch urgency is driven entirely by application risk — not devices or users.

How ALICE secures the estate:

  • OS patching rings are automatically created based on application risk
  • Devices containing high-risk applications are patched first
  • Devices running only low-risk COTS applications follow controlled, later rings
  • OS patching aligns to the highest-risk application present
  • Automated validation and rollback reduce risk

Outcome:

Drastically reduced vulnerability windows and a stable, secure environment.

Stage 6
Optimise & Automate

IT moves from maintenance to optimisation.

With standardised applications, enforced governance, and automated patching, ALICE removes operational overhead. Automation replaces repetitive effort.

What becomes automated:

  • Application packaging and updates
  • OS and application patch cycles
  • Application lifecycle reviews
  • Compliance and audit reporting
  • Estate hygiene and self-healing workflows

Outcome:

Higher reliability, lower effort, and IT that scales without extra headcount.

Stage 7
Business-as-Usual (BaU)

ALICE fades into the background — but the value never stops.

In BaU, ALICE operates as an always-on intelligence and automation layer. As applications change, everything adjusts automatically.

In BaU, ALICE:

  • Continuously discovers new applications
  • Automatically classifies application risk
  • Packages and deploys new approved versions
  • Removes outdated and vulnerable software
  • Maintains security, compliance, and audit readiness

Final Outcome:

A simplified, secure, compliant, and fully optimised application estate — managed automatically, every day.

The ALICE Promise

From day one through Business‑as‑Usual:

You manage only approved applications

Only current, secure versions are deployed

Legacy vulnerabilities are removed at source

Application risk, not guesswork, drives security decisions

OS patching is continuous and automated

Operations scale without manual effort

Automated Application Lifecycle & Endpoint Management

  • Automatic retirement workflows when applications reach end of support

2

Application‑First Patch & Risk Management

  • Risk classification at application level
  • Patch policies aligned to business criticality

ALICE vs Traditional Tools –
At‑a‑Glance

Who ALICE Is For

  • Hundreds of applications have become thousands – and you’ve lost control of what’s installed, where, and why
  • The board is asking questions about governance you can’t answer – and auditors want proof your applications are secure and compliant
  • Your IT team spends half their time packaging and patching – firefighting vulnerabilities instead of delivering value
  • You’re patching devices, not protecting applications – leaving your highest-risk software exposed for weeks
  • Your application landscape changes daily, but your visibility updates quarterly – by the time you know what’s there, it’s already changed

Frequently Asked Questions

ALICE is a cloud‑native platform that discovers every application in your estate, standardises on approved versions, and then keeps both applications and OS patched based on application risk – automatically.
Instead of separate tools for inventory, packaging, deployment and patching, ALICE runs the lifecycle as one joined‑up system.

The future of application and endpoint lifecycle management starts here.

  • Stop firefighting patch backlogs every month
  • Standardise your application estate without another one‑off project
  • Prove governance and compliance with confidence
