Patch Connect Plus
Manage third‑party application updates through existing WSUS and SCCM tooling.
Integrate and manage third‑party application patches in WSUS and SCCM
Organisations using SCCM often find vendor application updates sit outside their regular patch process. That creates manual packaging, bespoke scripts and inconsistent coverage across endpoints.
Patch Connect Plus imports and publishes pre‑packaged third‑party updates into WSUS and SCCM so central teams can deploy and report from the same SCCM console they already use.
For Windows‑centric estates with regulatory or distributed‑office pressures, the product reduces gaps in third‑party coverage and helps keep evidence of patching visible within existing SCCM workflows.
Where Patch Connect Plus is used
Central IT teams publish vendor updates via Patch Connect Plus to WSUS, then use SCCM collections and maintenance windows to stage rollouts across the estate.
Distributed branch offices receive the same update catalogue through WSUS synchronisation, keeping deployments consistent across locations.
Teams run SCCM compliance reports that include third‑party patches to feed internal controls and operational reporting.
Suitable environments
Best suited to Windows‑centric estates that already treat WSUS and SCCM as primary patch infrastructure. It fits where teams want to keep deployment control inside SCCM rather than add separate patch platforms.
Works well for mid‑market and enterprise organisations, including regulated sectors and geographically distributed offices where central IT manages large‑scale patching operations.
