Software Distribution ...

	... will substantially reduce the cost of managing desktops and laptops.
PTCS offers a custom-developed distribution product called the "PTCS Desktop Delivery System," which installs a desktop or laptop client as a service or a runtime executable. The PTCS Desktop Delivery System is modeled after Microsoft’s Group Policy/Software Installation, utilizing Active Directory’s Group membership to select which users may receive a selected application or application(s). The desktop/laptop client polls for Active Directory Group membership. If the desktop/laptop user is a member of an Application Group, the application will be installed at the designated time interval.

Benefits of the PTCS Desktop Delivery System include:

• Administrators can focus on managing the people who use computers instead of focusing on managing computers.
• The method for installing applications is more dependable.
• Diagnosing and correcting problems takes less time.
• Support for managed software improves.

The PTCS Desktop Delivery System with Active Directory provides a highly automated, reliable and sustainable managed environment. Using Active Directory means you need not worry about cross-enterprise deployment and management of programs like Office 2000. Standard software distribution is not enough. By using Active Directory, you can get the software out there and keep it out there until you’re ready to remove it.

Applications repackaged by PTCS can be deployed by all leading software distribution systems including Microsoft’s SMS, Marimba, Novadigm, Tivoli, HP OpenView and Veritas WinInstall. Integration support is provided for Microsoft SMS, ON Command SiteManager, Novell ZENworks, Novadigm Radia and IBM Tivoli.

By deploying repackaged applications, the PTCS Desktop Delivery System streamlines the delivery, installation, update and management of applications on the desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Reduce IT cost by automating application provisioning! Call for pricing of the PTCS Desktop Delivery System.
