Is it hard keeping your software up to date in the right way? How much time does it take to track application updates? How often do software vulnerabilities remain undiscovered, and the related patches are deployed late or not at all? Missed out on time-critical feature updates, letting down your users? Ever felt squeezed by the pressures of regulatory compliance and security threats? Nervous because of security audits? Annoyed by slow IT processes? What impact does the application updating have on your software estate?
Without a doubt, patch management is not an easy task. But, at the same time, no one can deny the need for this procedure and its importance for companies across all industries. Why?

Your users’ productivity might be impacted by missing features, old data or incompatibilities with your infrastructure.
