Fact 1
Microsoft® constantly releases patches for Windows® NT/2000/XP, Terminal Server, IIS, SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Explorer, MDAC, Media Player, Windows Media Services, NetMeeting®, Office and Outlook. These patches primarily fix security vulnerabilities and system stabilities.

Fact 2
Networks are vulnerable to intrusion if the latest patches are not applied.

Fact 3
Managing service packs and hotfixes is complex and time-consuming.

Ask Yourself These Questions
Do you know which patches to deploy?
Do you know which ones can be safely installed and in what combination/order?
Do you find yourself testing patch deployments for more time than it takes to install them?
Do you have an automated, reliable method for managing patches that reduces the risks to downtime?
Can you validate that the job was done right?

Secure Your Business
With one breach of your systems, a malicious intruder can change your web site content, dump critical files, destroy and steal customer data, or worse. These real events result in downtime for your company and affect the bottom line. Security hotfixes are released constantly. Plus, patches change all the time (sometimes without much fanfare). PatchEasy empowers you to manage this process with information and deployment intelligence that is the best in the business.

Remote Management For Any Number Of Systems
PatchEasy is the only patch management software that offers an OPTIONAL client agent, which gives organisations the flexibility to manage their networks in the most effective way possible. Any combination of machines - even those isolated or locked down - can be managed with a mix of agents and non-agents simultaneously.

Know What You Are Missing And Validate
PatchEasy includes enhanced patch validation with intelligent version-checking functionality that automatically validates files according to checksum, file size and version information. If a new patch overwrites a file from an older patch, PatchEasy knows that the newer file is still valid. There are many good reasons to invalidate a patch's installation, but a newer version of a DLL may not be one of these reasons.

Key Benefits

IT professionals invest their time researching and solving problems as they happen. Once the solution to a problem is discovered, testing and deployment are the final steps. Meanwhile, configuration can change and nullify these updates. The IT expert must constantly validate these installations. PatchEasy meets these challenges head-on by providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use application that works "off the shelf" for any size organisation.
