Juriba, a provider of enterprise application management solutions, today announced the appointment of Bob Kelly as its new Head of Product. In his role, Bob will be responsible for leading the development and go-to-market strategy for AppM, an automated application packaging and testing solution, to help enterprise organizations spread the load of application management for improved scale and speed.

“Enabling application owners with reminders and simple prompts will confirm coverage and track related activities, and AppM will empower application owners to package most applications themselves and publish them for pilot testing, with no expertise in packaging required.”.

AppM’s cloud-based, simple user experience will offload most packages currently dominating the time of packaging experts, allowing them to focus on only applications that require special attention. Between command-line support and an easy-to-use repackaging capability, the number of applications that require hands-on expertise can be drastically reduced.
“Bob has a deep understanding of the challenges that enterprises face in managing their applications, and he has a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions,” said Barry Angell, CEO at Juriba. “Every customer we speak to struggles with the demand on packaging teams on a daily basis thanks to the near-constant release of security updates that need to be prepared and tested, not to mention critical migration and lifecycle events such as OS updates and platform changes like Intune.”
Already providing powerful automated repackaging and testing to many customers, Bob will engage with customers to discuss their application owner program and the challenges faced. “I’d like to speak with as many organizations as possible to further validate and enhance efforts to provide visibility, control, and empowerment to application owners.”
