PowerUpdate is a multiplatform software updating and delivery solution for maintaining ISV and internally-developed software applications.

Features

Complete Software Delivery and Updating

Whether it's desktop, enterprise, or multi-tiered Web services software, PowerUpdate is unmatched for adding automatic updating to the applications you develop. PowerUpdate offers comprehensive support for software updates on Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X clients, allowing you to use one updating solution for all of your cross platform applications.

Easy to Integrate Into your Application

The PowerUpdate client may be distributed as an embedded application in your software or as a standalone executable.

Lowers Deployment Costs, Speeds Update Delivery

With PowerUpdate, administering your software update delivery process is easy. Once your patch, bug fix, or new release is ready to be released, log into the PowerUpdate Management Portal and "publish" the new version. Once the new release is activated on the PowerUpdate Server, your clients receive their software updates immediately, resulting in reduced time and expense for product distribution, fewer customer support calls and e-mails, and streamlined customer communication about new versions. You will spend less time managing the release of product updates, patches, and fixes, and more time developing great software.

Lowers Tech Support and IT Costs and Increases Customer Satisfaction

Customer support is expensive and most "my software doesn't work" calls are answered by "you need an update." Eliminating even a fraction of your tech support calls - estimated to cost between $10 and $20 each - by using PowerUpdate as your software update delivery mechanism delivers instant ROI. Enterprise help desk and IT costs are even more expensive to staff. Not only will you eliminate those "you need an update" calls, but your IT admins won't have to go to each system just to install updates. Depending upon how you choose to deliver the update, clients don't even need to know about it, as PowerUpdate can deliver updates without the need for any end-user interaction.

Integrates with Existing Deployment Solutions

PowerUpdate is compatible with all major installation and deployment solutions, and can be integrated quickly and easily into existing installers, including InstallAnywhere. PowerUpdate is also compatible with Microsoft Windows Installer technology.
