Every device. Every application. Managed from one place.
Your team shouldn't wait hours for software to be installed. Your IT provider shouldn't be visiting desks one by one to set up new machines. And you shouldn't have to wonder what's running on your company's computers. At Otaris, every customer has a software catalogue — a centrally managed list of every application your business uses, deployed automatically to every device via Microsoft Intune. New device? Log in and everything installs itself. Software update? It's pushed automatically. Unapproved software? It's blocked before it runs. This is how modern businesses manage their applications.

Software Shouldn't Be This Hard to Manage
Most businesses we work with have the same problem: software is installed manually, one machine at a time. When a new team member starts, someone spends half a day setting up their laptop. When an application needs updating, it happens whenever someone gets around to it — or not at all. Nobody has a clear picture of what's installed on which device, and there's no way to know if outdated or unauthorised software is creating security risks.
Setting Up a Device Takes Hours, Not Minutes
A new team member starts on Monday. Someone from IT spends half the day installing software, configuring printers, connecting Wi-Fi, and setting up email — one step at a time, manually. If a device fails mid-week, the same process starts again on a replacement machine. It's slow, it's inefficient, and it pulls your team away from actual work.
You Don't Know What's Running on Your Devices
How many different applications are installed across your company's computers right now? Are they all up to date? Are any of them unauthorised? Most business owners can't answer these questions — because nobody's managing it centrally. Software gets installed ad hoc, updates get skipped, and there's no single source of truth for what your business actually runs.
Your Software Should Be as Managed as Everything Else
You wouldn't run your finances without a system. You wouldn't manage your staff without a process. So why is software — the tools your team uses every single day — still managed by walking from desk to desk? Your applications deserve the same discipline and visibility as every other part of your business.
We Give Every Business a Software Catalogue — and Manage It Centrally
At Otaris, one of the first things we do for every customer is build a software catalogue — a complete, centrally managed list of every application your business uses. This catalogue is deployed and managed through Microsoft Intune, which means every application is installed, updated, and removed automatically across every device in your organisation.
When a new team member joins or someone gets a new device, the setup process is simple: they log in with their Microsoft account and everything deploys automatically. Every application from the catalogue, their printers, Wi-Fi settings, security policies — all pushed to the device without anyone from IT touching it. If a device fails, the same thing happens on a replacement machine. Your team member is back to work in minutes, not hours.
Software updates are handled the same way. When an application in the catalogue needs patching — whether it's a security update or a new version — it's pushed to every device automatically. No more relying on users to click “update later.” No more outdated software creating compliance gaps or security vulnerabilities. And when software is no longer needed, it's removed centrally — cleanly and completely.
This catalogue also integrates directly with ThreatLocker, our application whitelisting platform. ThreatLocker is configured to trust the software in your catalogue — and block everything else. If an application isn't on the approved list, it doesn't run. This is one of the most effective cybersecurity controls available, and it works because we manage the catalogue centrally. For more on how ThreatLocker protects your business, see our Cybersecurity page.

How Your Software Catalogue Works
Five steps that turn manual, ad-hoc software installs into a fully managed catalogue — deployed, patched, and protected automatically across every device in your business.
Step 1 — We Build Your Catalogue
We work with you to identify every application your business uses — from Microsoft Office and line-of-business tools to specialised software and browser extensions. Each one is added to your software catalogue in Intune, packaged for automatic deployment, and configured with the right settings for your environment.
Step 2 — Software Deploys Automatically
Once your catalogue is built, every application is deployed to every device automatically. No manual installs, no USB drives, no desk visits. When a new device is enrolled, the full catalogue is pushed to it — along with printers, Wi-Fi, and security configurations. Your team member logs in and starts working.
Step 3 — Updates Are Pushed Centrally
When software in your catalogue needs updating — security patches, bug fixes, new versions — we push the update to every device in your organisation automatically. Updates happen on schedule, in the background, without interrupting your team. No more outdated software, no more “remind me later.”
Step 4 — Unapproved Software Is Blocked
Your software catalogue integrates with ThreatLocker to create a closed loop: only applications on your approved list are allowed to run. If a team member tries to install or run something that isn't in the catalogue, ThreatLocker blocks it automatically. This is application whitelisting — one of the most effective cybersecurity controls in the Essential Eight framework.
Step 5 — Software Is Removed When No Longer Needed
When your business stops using an application — whether it's a licence change, a vendor switch, or a retired tool — we remove it from the catalogue and it's uninstalled from every device centrally. Clean, complete, and consistent. No leftover software cluttering your machines or creating security risks.

Visibility most businesses have into what software is actually running across their devices
Unmanaged software isn't just inefficient — it's dangerous. Every unpatched application is a potential entry point for attackers. Every unauthorised program is a risk you don't know about. Every hour spent manually installing software is an hour wasted. The Essential Eight framework lists application control and patching as two of its top mitigation strategies for a reason — they work. But only if someone is actually managing them.

What It Feels Like When Software Just Works
New devices are ready in minutes
A team member logs into a new or replacement laptop and everything deploys automatically. Software, printers, Wi-Fi, security policies — all there, all configured, no waiting.
Updates happen without interruption
Security patches and software updates are pushed in the background on schedule. Your team never sees a “please update” prompt because it's already done.
You know exactly what's running
Your software catalogue gives you a clear, centralised view of every application deployed across your business. Nothing installed without approval, nothing running without your knowledge.
Unapproved software can't run
ThreatLocker blocks anything that isn't in your catalogue. Your devices only run what you've approved — one of the strongest cybersecurity protections available.
Removing software is as easy as adding it
When you stop using an application, it's removed from the catalogue and uninstalled from every device. No leftover software, no wasted licences, no security risks.
