Software Distribution and Security Patching
A Risky, Time-Consuming Process
Distributing and installing applications, custom software and patch updates can be frustrating and time-consuming for both notebook users and IT staff. Yet, it's critical to update computers every week at a minimum to keep security filters current. Companies that fail to regularly deploy security and virus updates expose themselves to financial and legal risks.
An Efficient, Effective Solution
VSM Software Update is a secure, agent-based technology that sends out patches and other software updates automatically or at the press of a button. The agent runs in the background with Local Administration permission, throttles bandwidth so it doesn't interfere with usage, and communicates with servers using encrypted HTTPS. It completely eliminates the need for user interaction. This makes it easy for you to protect your company from viruses and keep all your notebooks upgraded to the same level-without sacrificing valuable end-user productivity and IT staff time.
It's important to note that CommNet's technology is equally adept at distributing all of your proprietary software updates such as Order Forms, templates, Utility Asset Maps, etc.
Managed Software Configuration
CommNet ensures virus protection and data security using a managed software configuration process. Our experts work in partnership with your IT department to test patches and certify them in your environment.
Scripting services for software distribution range from completely automated (push) to fully interactive and menu-driven (pull). You can choose if, how and when your users will participate in the update process.
CommNet offers a variety of electronic and physical delivery options. You also benefit from secure access to information and reports about the status of all updates using CommNet's VSM Customer Point web portal.
