By using the Workflow Service, updates are downloaded and installed on a central deployer according to a defined schedule or when required. The DeskCenter Management Suite ensures an optimal and need-based deployment of updates, because only patches are downloaded and installed that are detected as required. Furthermore, the DeskCenter Management Suite supports updates for several languages of the OS and applications.
