ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

PDQ Unplugged: Founders. Roadmap. Real talk.

Recorded on July 24, 2025

Hear how Deploy & Inventory came to be, how IT has evolved over 20+ years, and what’s next for device management and PDQ Connect. Get insights on today’s biggest IT headaches, see where Connect is headed (with a special customer-only discount), and join a live AMA with all four speakers.

About the webinar

Look back—and a leap forward. Join us for a live, unfiltered virtual event with the founders who built PDQ—and the sysadmins like you who’ve shaped it ever since.

For one day only, PDQ founders (and retired sysadmins) Shawn and Shane reveal what led them to create Deploy & Inventory, how PDQ customers shaped the tools you know and love, and what they’ve learned watching IT evolve for over 20 years.

Then we fast-forward. CEO Dan Cook and VP of Product Mark Littlefield will break down what’s in store for device management, what cloud-native IT actually looks like, and how PDQ Connect is being built for the next decade of sysadmin needs.

What you'll learn

Why Deploy & Inventory was created—and how IT has evolved since
The biggest IT headaches today—and how to stay ahead of them
A sneak peek at where Connect is going next (and how to get a special customer-only discount)

Plus: Live AMA with Shawn, Shane, Dan & Mark (bring the weird questions). Part war story, part future forecast, part product roadmap. Don’t miss it.

If I had to go back... I couldn’t do it. We would have to bring on several more people just to do what I do with PDQ.

DOUG RESSLER
Director of IT, University of Utah

Alternate solutions didn’t have the flexibility I was looking for. It would take me a week and a half to outfit a new lab previously. Now, with PDQ, it takes me a couple hours.

MICHAEL ELSON
District Technology Coordinator, South Amboy Public Schools

Being able to manage our remote computers and have deployments go out exactly how and when we want them to, reliably, has been huge.
