After months of development, real-world feedback, and continuous refinement, we’re excited to announce the release of Juriba App Owner.
This milestone is more than just a product launch—it’s a step forward in solving a long-standing challenge in IT: ensuring clear, accountable, and efficient application ownership while reducing operational risks.
Organizations rely on hundreds or thousands of applications yet managing them remains inefficient and fragmented: IT teams and administrators frequently struggle with:
🔹 Compatibility & testing issues – Ensuring applications remain compatible across IT environments is a constant struggle. (Read more)
🔹 Security & compliance risks – Unpatched or untracked applications increase security vulnerabilities. (Read more)
🔹 Keeping pace with change – Rapid software updates make it hard to stay on top of versioning and lifecycle management. (Read more)
🔹 Resource allocation & expertise gaps – Application owners often lack the tools and automation needed to reduce IT dependency. (Read more)
Without clear ownership, automation, and real-time insights, IT teams are left reacting to issues rather than proactively managing applications.
During beta testing, customers highlighted that a lack of clear ownership makes it harder to proactively update software, often leaving organizations reliant on reactive measures like security scans and reports to identify outdated or vulnerable applications. With Juriba App Owner, application owners can take a more proactive role in keeping their software updated, ensuring timely decisions on upgrades, end-of-life (EOL) replacements, and security patches—reducing risks before they escalate.
Further, our beta customers reinforced the importance of empowering application owners with the right tools. With Juriba App Readiness, application owners can become self-sufficient, leveraging automated packaging and smoke testing to accelerate updates without burdening technical teams.
Application owners can be more impactful with little effort:
💡 Anyone can initiate automated packaging and testing for the majority of applications, and packaging teams and services can focus on the rest to increase capacity and velocity.
Juriba App Owner is designed to eliminate uncertainty and drive accountability with a centralized, automated platform that enables organizations to:
✅ Assign clear ownership for every necessary application.
✅ Automated reminders for periodic check-ins to confirm application status.
✅ Provide helpful insights to help owners make informed decisions.
✅ Reduce IT workload by enabling application owners to prepare and test updates.
And with this public release, we’re introducing powerful new features to make the process even smarter and more efficient!
Keeping applications up to date is no longer a manual effort. During check-ins, Juriba AI assists application owners by:
Suggesting newer versions based on vendor data.
Providing release notes and installer links (when available).
Reducing time spent researching updates.
This ensures application owners have the latest information at their fingertips, making informed update decisions without unnecessary delays.
We’ve made access even easier! In addition to Microsoft and Google authentication, we’ve introduced Magic Link Sign-In, allowing users to log in without entering a password:
Simply enter your email, and a secure sign-in link is sent to your inbox.
Click the link, and you're in—fast, easy, and secure.
Reduces reliance on passwords while maintaining strong authentication.
This is just the beginning! We’re continuously working to enhance Juriba App Owner with:
📅 Assign functional testing tasks to application owners
📅 Proactively alert when a software vulnerability is disclosed (Juriba KB)
📅 Proactively alert if we see other application owners recommending upgrades (Juriba KB)
📅 Accept requests to extend check-in intervals or reassign applications to others
📅 Recommend what applications are or are not being managed by others (Juriba KB)
Our mission is clear: empower organizations to optimize their application estate through automation, intelligence, and seamless collaboration.
