Endpoint Central | January 4, 2009 | 2 min read

Hi Folks,

Happy New Year to everyone!

wow! what a way to finish a year.  Thanks to all who encouraged and helped us to be here.

Yes, it was a year of challenges.  Desktop Central has grown a lot in all aspects, Number of Customers, Revenue, Product Features, Supported infrastructures, scalability, performance, usability etc., and also it is worth to mention that the evaluators/customers have started pouring requirements and suggestions directly.  This really is a sign of path to sustainable development.

Desktop Central as product has faced lot of challenges and marked different achievements, below given are the few important milestones in the year 2008 from the features point of view.

  • Support for Microsoft Office patches.
  • Enhancements on Power management.
  • Support for VISTA Operating System.
  • 64-Bit OS Support for Inventory, Patch Management, Software Deployment and Remote control.
  • Introduced Re-Branding Option
  • Windows 2008 operating system is supported.
  • Action Log Viewer is enhanced to scale User Auditing.
  • Desktop Central Agent runs on its own service. (No depends on GPO)
  • Help Desk ticketing module introduced.
  • Enhancement on Inventory (Software Grouping, Licensing modules)
  • Mailing the AD Reports introduced
  • DB Migration to remote computer is supported
  • Support for managing computers in WAN/Remote Offices included
  • Remote Management Tools enhanced.

Apart from the list of features mentioned, the DC core Engine and the agent has been fine tuned to scale to different heights.  Due to this we have started witnessing more enterprise customers with large number of computers.   We get more downloads happening and the support witnesses.  This is really a driving force.

On the other hand, the Free Windows Tools from Desktop Central is also creating sensation.  Now it has 10 tools integrated in its pallette.  It is a great complementary product for Desktop Central.  This tool also gets more feedback and suggestion from the network administrators. More plans ahead for this.

To recap, it was a splendid year packed with enthusiasm and challenges which kept us in a right rhythm, busy with new features, releases and customer support.

Hey 2008, we really loved you, adieu!. And we are ready to take the new 2009 excitement pack.

Once again, Thanks to all who encouraged and helped us to be here.

Cheers
Romanus
