Software deployment
Sysadmins deploy software to equip employees with the tools they need, patch vulnerabilities, and keep machines operating at their peak performance. Manual software deployment takes a lot of time and effort, and even a highly skilled IT professional may make mistakes. PDQ Deploy and Inventory take the hassle out of the software deployment process.

What our customers say
DEAN MOORE
I used PDQ just last week to update 180 systems, and I did the entire creative cloud suite in three hours time. This would normally take me an entire week. Now that I have been doing this for several years, I think this has probably saved me years on my life.

PDQ makes setting up a computer from scratch so simple. We have a custom package to install and it will take. I installed office, chrome, firefox, and an antivirus on an old computer all in 2 minutes. That alone saves you an hour and a half…
