Software Deployment & App Management
The applications your team needs installed silently and kept current on every machine, unapproved software found and removed, and a live inventory of what is installed where, so your licenses match reality.
Overview
Nobody should have to walk to a desk to install a program.
Software sprawls. Each machine ends up with a different mix of applications and versions, some installed by IT, some by the user, a few left behind by whoever had the laptop before. Requests for a new program wait for someone with admin rights to be free, unapproved tools and browser add-ons creep in, and at renewal time nobody knows how many licenses are actually in use.
We manage software across the fleet. Each role has a standard set of applications that installs automatically, extra software is requested and pushed silently without anyone visiting the desk, and approved apps are kept updated. Every device reports what is installed, so unapproved or end-of-life software is found and removed, and license counts can be checked against real installs before a renewal or an audit.
Capabilities
What's included
- Silent remote installsApplications installed, updated or removed remotely in the background, without interrupting the user or giving them admin rights.
- Role-based software setsEach role gets its standard applications automatically, so a new or rebuilt machine has everything it needs.
- Approved application catalogA list of approved software agreed with you, with a simple request route for anything else.
- Application updatesApproved applications kept on current, supported versions alongside operating system patching.
- Unwanted software removalUnapproved programs, trialware, outdated versions and risky utilities found across the fleet and removed.
- Software inventoryA live list of every application and version on every device, searchable the moment a vulnerability is announced.
- License trackingInstall counts compared with what you own, so you neither overpay at renewal nor fall short in a vendor audit.
How It Works
Delivered through managed IT
Software is deployed, updated and inventoried through our endpoint management platform, which reports every installed application on every Windows and Mac device and can install or remove software silently in the background. Installs run with the platform's own permissions, so users do not need local admin rights to get the software they are approved for.

Common Questions
Questions we get asked
Can users still install software themselves?
That is your decision, and we recommend not. Removing local admin rights is one of the most effective security controls available, and it is far easier to live with when requested software appears quickly without anyone visiting the desk. Users request what they need, approved applications are pushed silently, and anything new is checked before it is added to the catalog.
How do you handle software that needs a license key or special setup?
We package it once, with the license key, settings and any add-ins your team uses, test it on a pilot machine and then deploy it the same way everywhere. Line-of-business applications with unusual installers are scripted, documented and kept with your records, so the next installation does not depend on someone remembering how the last one was done.
Will this help with software license audits?
Yes. Every device reports which applications and versions are installed, so you can compare install counts with what you have purchased at any time. Before a renewal we flag licenses that are paid for but unused, and before a vendor audit we can show exactly where the software is installed and remove copies that should not be there.
How quickly can you find a vulnerable application across the fleet?
Usually in minutes. When a vulnerability is announced in a common application, the software inventory shows every device running an affected version. Those devices are updated or the software is removed, and the inventory confirms the fix. Without an inventory, the same exercise means asking people what they have installed and hoping the answers are right.
