About quick delivery of a single software resource
You can perform a quick delivery of a single software resource that runs with
minimum configuration. You can use the task-based Quick Delivery method to
specify the software to deliver, the action to perform, and the computers to deliver
to.
Because the software resources and the delivery settings are predefined, Quick
Delivery makes it easy for administrators and non-administrators to deliver
software. For example, help desk personnel can easily deliver hotfixes because
all they have to do is select the correct hotfix from the Software Catalog. They do
not need to know which package to select or how to create the command line.
Most organizations can use Quick Delivery for the majority of their software
delivery needs. Quick Delivery helps you reduce the amount of time that you spend
on routine deliveries so that you can devote more time to advanced activities.
