The Complete Suite
Unlike many “suites” that toss miscellaneous utilities and tools into the same box, WinINSTALL provides features that are tightly integrated for a consistent user experience. WinINSTALL capabilities let IT administrators implement each stage in the PC lifecycle so it can be built upon during future stages or reused for common management tasks.
Starting at the point of PC purchase, WinINSTALL functionality reduces IT labor and asset ownership costs by providing a better way to deploy software, migrate hardware, secure desktops, track assets, and adhere to internal as well as external compliance standards.
