It can be hard to manage hundreds of software scattered across multiple sites. As the number of software applications deployed by enterprises grows, the challenge of effective software distribution becomes evident. According to Okta Inc., the average firm utilizes 129 apps, and the number is increasing. Managing a wide range of software across numerous sites without a centralized solution results in inefficiencies, errors and higher operating costs.
However, businesses that automate and streamline software delivery can improve operational efficiency, lower costs and improve security. Let’s look at how Faronics Deploy can improve software distribution and provide strategic benefits to your firm.
Understanding software distribution
Software distribution is the process of distributing, administering, upgrading and uninstalling software on various devices inside an organization. This task might be overwhelming, especially when completed manually. The hurdles include keeping all devices up to date, avoiding errors and handling varying software requirements across many locations.
This is where Faronics Deploy comes in. It provides a centralized, automated solution to help streamline these operations. This software is loaded with features aimed at simplifying IT management:
- Unified console: With a single, user-friendly dashboard, you can manage all processes, from application management to OS deployment.
- Automated updates: Update all devices with the most recent software and fixes automatically.
- Remote control: Manage and troubleshoot devices from anywhere, reducing the need for physical presence.
- Inventory and asset management: Keep track of all your hardware and software assets efficiently.
- OS deployment: Simplify the distribution of operating systems across all devices.
- Real-time reporting: Get accurate, up-to-date information on device status and operations.
These capabilities work together to streamline and improve the efficiency of your IT processes, allowing you to focus on strategic activities rather than mundane maintenance.
