Deployment Studio Express

Deployment Studio Express is an easy-to-use release management and automated software deployment tool designed to help streamline software releases by providing release managers, QA teams, and software developers with a set of tools for automating application deployments.

Release Management Overview

Automated Software Deployment Tools

Deployment Studio Express' automated software deployment tools can help streamline your software deployment process by providing your software deployment team with the ability to quickly and easily create re-useable deployment tasks which can be run manually using DSE's intuitive UI or scheduled using a scheduler service such as Windows Task Manager.

Tasks can be created to:

Run remote commands on target systems (stop/start services, run DOS commands, execute batch scripts, etc).
Deploy files to the target systems.
Build applications from source control.

Deployment Studio includes its own integrated TCP/IP based file transfer mechanism so there is no need to setup file shares or FTP services on the target machines. Integrating DSE into your existing network literally takes minutes! Simply install Deployment Studio on the target machines and you are ready to go.

Asset Management and Application Auditing Tools

Deployment Studio Express' asset management and application auditing tools can provide valuable information about the software assets distributed throughout your environments, including file versions, modified dates, file sizes, etc. This information can be used by your software release team to:

Troubleshoot failed application deployments and software testing issues by identifying discrepancies between environments (i.e. file versions, etc).
Ensure your promotion environments are up-to-date and in synch.
