Deploy all software from the server

Ensuring your PC users are kept up-to-date with the latest software is fundamental to meeting their changing needs. But deploying new software within an organization can mean costly visits to individual PCs, each one needing a varying level of customization. These ongoing administrative overheads can easily amount to a large expense.

The SCO Vision Family's centralized approach yields additional benefits during installation. For example, when Windows users need to share UNIX files and printers other solutions require the system administrator to visit each PC to install and configure the software, each one taking

30 minutes or more. For a 50 PC user, single server population this will take around seven working days. The administrator will also need to make special arrangements to load the software on to mobile users' PCs. With the SCO Vision Family, on the other hand, the system administrator will need to make just a single installation on the UNIX server ù typically taking no more than 30 minutes. No additional software needs to be installed on individual PCs ù they don't even need to be rebooted ù and mobile or remote users automatically get the same benefits the next time they connect to the network.
