Emeryville, Calif., January 10, 2006 —BigFix, a leading provider of enterprise security configuration management solutions, now offers customers a new portfolio of professional services to accelerate distribution and deployment of third-party and proprietary software applications to servers, desktops and laptops throughout their distributed IT infrastructures.

The new BigFix services, available immediately, assure fast and successful distribution and provisioning of software applications and upgrades developed in-house or from third-party vendors including Adobe, Macromedia and Real Networks. Delivered in conjunction with the BigFix Enterprise Suite, BigFix Services can be tailored for each unique organization’s needs and IT environment.

Software Lifecycle Management
Using multiple point solutions for different software lifecycle and security configuration management functions generates unnecessary purchasing, deployment, implementation and maintenance costs and introduces additional risk. These expenses and risks can be particularly acute in enterprise infrastructures that number in the tens-of-thousands of desktop PCs, mobile computers and servers.
