Software Deployment and Update
Build a unique software catalog from a 100’s of the most popular 3rd party solutions in addition to custom line-of-business applications
The Software Catalog is the basis of Software Deployment and Update. The catalog provides a categorized list of supported software along with the software title, version and language. Utilizing a “provider” based model, Kaseya maintains a Master Catalog that contains content from various providers including Ninite. For added flexibility, custom Windows based software installers for line of business applications; custom applications or other software needs can be configured and added to the software catalog. The end result is a fully versioned catalog needed for policy based software deployment and update to help meet organizational and external compliance and regulatory requirements.
Align Policies and Deployment Schedules Based on Business Requirements
The software deployment and update policies often vary from department to department or location to location. To accommodate this need, Profiles are used to define the software product, version, schedule and update methods. For example, the accounting department may require certain versions of a software product for compatibility, compliance or regulatory purposes. An Accounting Profile can be created that identifies the particular software products and versions that should be deployed. One or more profiles can be assigned to a specific user role, machine type, department or organization.
In order to minimize the impact of software installation to the end user, IT administrators can define named schedules per profile with a wide range of scheduling options. And keeping software automatically updated has never been easier. The automatic update option ensures as new versions of the product become available, they will automatically be deployed using the deployment schedule within the profile.
