The deployment of updates is a very important process, allowing you to protect the managed environment. Administrators often use the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server to deploy patches to the operating systems and software.

The mentioned solution would allow you to publish third-party software updates on the WSUS server.
When managing updates, it is not that important what software is used--whether it is WSUS, ConfigMgr, or Patch Manager. What is important is knowledge of patches and when they need to be deployed and on which workstations--this task is much harder...
