Patch Connect Plus
Manage third-party application patches through your WSUS and SCCM consoles.
"For teams needing to publish and deploy non‑Microsoft updates using existing WSUS/SCCM tooling."
Automate third-party patch publishing and deployment for WSUS and SCCM
Keeping non‑Microsoft applications patched via WSUS and SCCM is time consuming. Manually packaging, publishing and tracking third‑party updates consumes effort and raises the risk of missed patches.
Patch Connect Plus automates publishing of pre‑packaged third‑party patches into WSUS and SCCM and exposes deployment and reporting through the SCCM console. It lets teams manage third‑party updates using their current WSUS/SCCM infrastructure.
Where Patch Connect Plus is used
Publish and deploy pre‑packaged third‑party patches through SCCM to reduce manual packaging work and speed patch delivery across endpoints.
Provide deployment and missing/failed‑installation reporting via SCCM to support central IT teams operating in multi‑site estates and regulated sectors.
Fits within these solutions
