Application Installation

Intelligent Application Installation

No more need to manually determine which applications need to be reinstalled. Swimage installs applications in any or all of the following methods:

Application Matching

This means that with no prior knowledge about the PC and without any additional effort, a PC can fully migrate and be 100% user-ready at first login, saving time, money, and aggravation.
