What are the advantages of software distribution?

Software distribution describes processes for the installation of software on the machines of users within companies or organisations. Due to the fact that many users lack the proficiency and/or authorisation to install and update software themselves, this task is usually handled by qualified personnel in such organisations.

In general, software distribution is a critical process, given that it includes updates for operating systems and other vital data-security programs, such as browsers, e-mail, and virus detection programs. Software distribution errors can therefore lead to disruptions and faults on a large scale.

The goal of effective software distributing is the automatic installation, configuration, and maintenance of a large number of computers with minimal effort required, as well as assuring user and data security, and a workflow free of unnecessary disruptions.
