Software deployment and maintenance – Automation saves time and money.
Hardware is only half the equation. When you set up a new computer, the next step is installing the right software. While this isn’t necessarily complex, it requires time and expertise. Users may feel confident installing software themselves in a familiar environment like Windows, but this can still lead to errors and complications. Security is another major concern, especially when installing essential applications such as browsers or antivirus programs. For IT departments, distributing software to a large fleet of devices, manual installation quickly becomes unsustainable. The more seats a company needs to manage, the more likely it is to adopt automated software deployment—often using pre-packaged software for more efficient distribution.
Software lifecycle management.
Professional software deployment goes far beyond the initial installation of user applications. Businesses can automate the deployment of everything from operating systems to e-mail clients, allowing employees to be productive on a new computer right away. Additionally, automated maintenance ensures that software and configurations remain up to date. A significant advantage of automated software deployment is improved licence management with a clearer overview of actual software usage. Standardising the deployment process also increases system stability, making it easier to diagnose and resolve compatibility issues or system failures when they occur.
