OMT leverages Microsoft’s Configuration Manager to centrally manage the Florida Museum’s Windows computers and laptops, including operating system updates and upgrades to common applications, e.g. Firefox, Adobe Reader, etc.

To minimize disruption to your workflow, we apply updates on the last Wednesday of each month. You will be informed if your computer requires a reboot, giving you the opportunity to save your work.  In cases of critical need, OMT may leverage this tool during business hours to respond to any security threats that arise.

OMT pursues these updates as part of our commitment to provide you with a highly-functioning and highly-secure working environment. We leverage these tools to be as effective and non-disruptive as possible. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
