Prinect Remote Update ensures that you receive the software updates and hotfixes that ensure high productivity and high availability of your Prinect workflow systems quickly and efficiently.
Your Prinect software is therefore always up-to-date without any extended downtimes for installation and with the planned installation times.
The updates for your specific Prinect workflow system are especially selected, tested and made available automatically on your network by Heidelberg.
The smooth operation of a Prinect workflow system depends – like with every other piece of software – on whether the software version being used is up-to-date. Maintaining Prinect customer systems by continuously updating the installed software used to be time-consuming up to 2012. The multitude of different product configurations that existed in the field had to be kept up-to-date manually.
As a result, the improvements and fixes that were developed often took too long to be installed by the customer. It was possible for a fault to occur long after the fix had already been developed. Keeping the customer systems up-to-date automatically with Prinect Remote Update as a preventive measure will enable customers to avoid such faults.
Cross dependencies with other Prinect products
The software components of a Prinect workflow system are generally installed and distributed among multiple computers. Accordingly, all of the computers on which the software components of a workflow system are installed must be viewed as a cluster or complete system. When updating the software, therefore, the entire workflow system must always be taken into account, not just the individual software components.
This means that whether a Prinect product functions properly within a workflow system might depend on more than just its version alone. It could also depend on the versions of the other Prinect products with which it works together. To ensure that the whole system functions properly, all of the dependencies with the versions of other Prinect products are checked and verified for each update package.
Prinect Remote Update automatically checks for cross dependencies and only provides sets of update packages for installation that function together properly.
Prinect Remote Update automatically checks daily for any hotfixes and updates for each of the installed Prinect products, ensuring that the Prinect workflow system is up-to-date.
