So you've finally got the cost approval for a site-wide software upgrade. But getting the software paid for is only half the battle-now you have to install it! Another machine-by-machine manual software installation marathon. There goes the weekend.
But site-wide installations aren't the only problem. What about installing a single piece of software on a single PC? First you have to walk to the user's desk; you'll probably get stopped by a user or two on the way. Then you have to wait for the user to save his or her work and log off the machine. By the time you get back to your office, you've spent 45 minutes on a two-minute installation.
Installations ought to be fast and simple-and with the Sitekeeper PushInstall module, they are. Select the computer or computers you want to install to, point Sitekeeper to the installation file, and tell Sitekeeper to install now or at a scheduled time. Whether you're installing to a few machines or a few hundred, that two-minute installation now takes about half a minute.
Stop wasting time on "sneakernet" installations. Get the Sitekeeper PushInstall module, and do something more productive with your nights and weekends. like going home!
