The software replaces the labor- and time-intensive manual patch management system the Department of Correction was previously using. UpdateEXPERT effectively manages, tests and validates the increasing number of Windows patches released on a regular basis. Featuring a third-party metadatabase of patch information and instructions, the software recommends which patches it can safely deploy based on customer-defined lists of required patches.
The automated patch management tool includes an optional agent feature to provide system administrators with flexibility to manage patches in the most optimal manner for their organization's unique computing environment. UpdateEXPERT also incorporates other features that address the needs of large enterprises and organizations, including integration with HP OpenView, disconnected network support and custom reporting options.
