When we have to add new applications, we have to go through the IT to do that, and they need to do some configuration changes.

Also, the initial start time takes couple of minutes and it is easy for get distracted during the time. So if it can reduce the start time to a reasonable start of time to a reasonable time of five to ten seconds. That will be great."
