STOCKHOLM, November 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Specops Software, a global innovation leader of Group Policy and Windows PowerShell-based desktop and password management software, today announced the latest version of its flagship product, Specops Deploy.

The new version of Specops Deploy utilizes the latest tools from Microsoft (e.g. Microsoft Development Toolkit or MDT), and also automates the front end of deployment. This allows an administrator to deploy a complete operating system, as well as other software, legacy files, patches and batch files all within one hour of downloading the Specops Deploy product.

Specops Deploy now offers:

- Support for MDT 2010 Update 1 - Logviewer - Easier to open and monitor log files - Updates to Windows(R) User State Migration Tool (USMT) - Easier to configure and save user data during reinstallation - User interface enhancements

With the latest enhancements Specops Deploy lowers even further the burden on IT departments and makes deploying software faster and simpler than ever before, said Thorbjorn Sjovold, chief technology officer at Specops Software.

Because Specops Deploy requires no additional hardware and uses existing infrastructure, Specops Software has the competitive advantage of managing the deployment of applications and operating systems with full efficiency, simple set up and a low learning curve.

Several customers including Saab and Volvo have chosen Specops Deploy for its high degree of automation, simple task management, rapid return on investment (ROI) and easy implementation and integration with existing Microsoft platforms. Täby Kommun, one of the leading municipalities in Sweden in terms of IT infrastructure with 2600 users, runs on a Microsoft platform and is successfully using Specops Deploy for application deployment and the distribution of operating systems.

We evaluated several solutions and chose Specops because the product is both efficient and easy to implement, said Jan Granvik, head of IT, Täby Kommun. With the new Specops Deploy solution in place, we can re-install any computer in less than 30 minutes, either with our standard Windows XP platform or with our new Windows 7 platform. We are able to deploy all of our applications without the need to be physically on site. We couldn't be happier.
