Built-in App Store Library and Software Repository

What Is a Software Repository?

Messaging software, file and task management tools, CRM and CMS solutions run on dozens of computers in your company. To ensure successful and secure IT governance, these apps should be carefully inventoried and kept up to date. IT administrators typically rely on centralized software repositories where they can store all the necessary office software and manage its versions and licenses.

A shared folder on a corporate server is a simple and traditional way to set up an on-premises program repository. Yet, with the recent WAH trend, it’s no longer efficient since most, if not all, employees work remotely. IT administrators and helpdesk personnel don’t have access to their work devices, computers aren’t connected to a corporate domain. Whenever a new employee joins a company, the IT department cannot assist them in configuring a personal desktop.

Zero dependency on AD domain

Your IT personnel can distribute software and updates to remote devices that aren’t connected to a corporate domain or network.

Action1 gave me — the only person in the tech office who has to wear multiple hats — tons of capabilities to manage those endpoints. I feel better now since I know that our machines are much more secure as a result of utilizing this platform.

No activity spikes and network bandwidth issues

The app library resides in the Cloud and doesn’t consume your corporate network resources when the packages are delivered to your endpoints

P2P distribution

Action1 handles software distribution from the App Store in a smart way. With peer-to-peer software and patch distribution technology, the endpoints download small chunks of data and exchange them. It significantly reduces the overall amount of data downloaded by each endpoint.

Designed for automation

Action1 enables you to automate software distribution. You can create packages presets and thus simplify onboarding and desktop setup for new employees. Or you can schedule automated patch rollouts to keep your apps secure and up to date with recent updates.
