OnDemand Software has been respected as a leader in the software distribution arena for over a decade. Many of the firsts in the market are attributed to WinINSTALL. WinINSTALL was the first to provide software packaging and distribution from a single console. WinINSTALL provided the first MSI packager. WinINSTALL won the very first Network Computing Well Connected Award for software distribution and continues to be recognized with numerous awards. And now OnDemand Software brings you the very first truly integrated solution for software packaging, distribution, inventory management and patch distribution. OnDemand Software's innovative technologies continue to help maximize ITs' return on their technology investment.
WinINSTALL 8 takes major strides in helping administrators know more about the relationship of what is running on the desktop and the contents of packages. For the first time information about both types of data can be compared to give you a real understanding of what potentially could go wrong after package installation.
OnDemand Software products bring a very fragmented IT administration tool market into focus. The world of:
These functions are not Add-ons or Connectors…..
These functions have never been successfully integrated into a product
where all of these functions relate to each other creating an effective
management tool to keep systems
operational. By leveraging your existing investments in database,
application, and directory service technologies, WinINSTALL 8 creates a
low cost of ownership while producing fast time-to-results.
WinINSTALL 8 uses a robust SQL database. A file level inventory lies at the foundation of the database providing the ability to build a complete “bill of materials” of each machine. All MSI package contents and conflict assessment results are also stored in the WinINSTALL 8 database. These two types of information can easily be compared to provide the most complete understanding of what happens after packages are installed. Don’t wait and see – analyze and manage machines. All in a very easy to use single product built from the ground up not from acquisition and partnerships which lead to very loose integration and hard to use products. The WinINSTALL 8 database schema is published providing an open architecture that can provide useful information to other system management tools that you use.

How many different tools do you maintain today to manage desktop machines? One for MSI packaging, one for inventory management, one for distribution, one for patch management, one for operating system installation, and one for PC migration? How much are you spending annually in support and maintenance agreements on all these tools? If you own a so-called suite of applications how really integrated are the functions? Can you compare MSI package contents with file level inventory? Can you see the relationship of files on a machine to which applications are using those files? Can you use your inventory management system to do more than provide asset management reports?
WinINSTALL 8 introduces the first integrated and inter-related complete set of features to allow real analysis of how applications affect machines and how to proactively prevent problems many times before they happen. The real problem to solve is not just MSI packaging or distribution or even inventory or patch management. The real problem to solve is eliminating the need to visit a machine to resolve a software problem. That is the world that WinINSTALL 8 and our Desktop Availability Suite bring to you. And all these features and functions are directly manageable while working with a machine list that is completely integrated with your network directory structure such as Active Directory, NT domains, and Netware NDS. Stop paying for tools that don’t help you solve the REAL problem with PC management.
