BitShop, Inc.’s user-friendly system tracks computers, software installed on your computers, and hot fixes (including the ability to “roll up” hot fixes into service packs). The innovative system identifies missing patches for each software package by automatically generating reports of affected machines that are missing patches. Record keeping is made easy with a simple web interface denoting the installed patches, who install them, and when.

Company spokesman Steve Radich said, “We focus on solving the typical problems with automated hot fix installation tools. With BitShop’s application tool, our clients can cure the headache of not knowing if all the hot fixes are making it to their machines. Our easy to use system is designed for unlimited expandability and customizability to handle not only Microsoft servers but also other types of systems and other types of patches easily. Our service is unequalled for improving the bottom line by empowering the IT staff to quickly identify and install required fixes on all machines.”

The advantage of recording historical information for easy review is a system manager’s dream. BitShop’s system tracks the all important ‘WHO,’ ‘WHAT,’ ‘WHERE’ and ‘WHEN’ of all software updates The capability to track who installed what fixes and when they were installed cures many managers’ questions. It records all systems requiring patches and consolidates hot fixes. BitShop has implemented this system to match our internal best practices for managing software fixes.

The BitShop “Active Patches” system is available as a hosted application or for purchase. It is written in ASP.Net, and includes the rights to make changes for internal use. The system is designed to be affordable for businesses of all sizes.
