System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is a software management suite developed by Microsoft that helps IT administrators manage computers and servers within an organization. It provides tools for deploying software, managing updates, and monitoring system health, ensuring that devices are secure and up-to-date. SCCM supports various operating systems and can manage both physical and virtual machines. It allows for centralized management, making it easier for IT teams to enforce policies, distribute applications, and gather inventory data across the entire network, ultimately improving efficiency and reducing administrative overhead.
