Today, Information Technology departments face a serious challenge when managing software installations and updates at multiple locations. It is a problem that increases exponentially when those locations extend across a metropolitan area, an entire region or nationwide – a typical scenario for financial institutions. In order for Information Technology staff to keep all those geographically disparate systems running smoothly, uniform software versions must be maintained at all user-stations. An innovative method for handling installations, updates and version control is through the use of a remote deployment tool. Remote deployment is the most effective solution because it allows the administrator to install updates without actually going to each user station, offers a simple user interface and provides a technique for handling multiple updates that ensures enterprise-wide compliance.
Bluepoint Solutions now provides an administrative tool, built right into its Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) product line, which allows your technical staff to remotely deliver upgrades and patches. It provides the capability to remotely install upgrades and patches on Branch and Teller Capture workstations located within the institution, as well as Merchant Capture workstations, which can be deployed at any geographic location nationwide.
Bluepoint’s Remote Deployment tool allows the system administrator to create, distribute and monitor upgrades from a central location. The administrator can ensure optimal performance of all systems through purposely selected updates, maintaining complete control over the features, upgrades and patches that are deployed to certain users at specified times. In addition, the Remote Deployment tool allows the administrator to throttle the amount of electronic information that is delivered in order to optimize the network bandwidth load.
Bluepoint provides updated “packages” of electronic information to RDC clients on a regular basis. These packages can be deployed as-is, or administrators may decide to deploy only some parts of the packages. With the Remote Deployment tool, different packages may be deployed based on groups or individual users, offering complete flexibility. This means new version roll-outs can be done in phases, at a level that is comfortable for your financial institution. Not only does Remote Deployment offer easy setup for system administrators, it is incredibly simple for users. With a few clicks, the system automatically runs through the installation process and prompts the user when finished – usually in just a few minutes.
By using Bluepoint’s Remote Deployment tool, your technical team can:
- Easily transmit and install software to an entire network of users, nationwide
- Free up time to handle other responsibilities
- Ensure that Bluepoint’s software solutions operate smoothly and efficiently
Take back those days, hours and minutes spent installing updates for your financial institution, one PC at a time!
