Automatic Updates

One of the most time-consuming aspects of system administration is performing mass software deployment updates on the set of systems being administered. Sysadmins are therefore pretty excited about software products that have an auto-update feature built into them, as it saves a great deal of their time.

If you want a sysadmin to push his company to adopt your software, you would be wise to include such a feature. Fortunately, you don't have to write the code from scratch, as products such as Zero G's PowerUpdate make adding that capability much easier.

Automatic software updating is sweeping the industry and saving an enormous amount of time and money on mass it deployment, and soon enough any software not including the feature will have a difficult time being adopted by the corporate world.
