I joined Russell Smith on the Petri Dish podcast to discuss why application deployment and endpoint change remain difficult at enterprise scale—even after decades of advances in tooling.

Drawing on lessons from AppDeploy and ITNinja, we explored the importance of understanding what is actually present in an environment, the move from Configuration Manager to Intune, and how automation can help smaller IT teams manage an increasing volume of application updates.

We also discussed patch-prioritization blind spots, the emerging role of AI in endpoint management, and how automated testing and phased rollouts can reduce the risk of an update causing widespread disruption.
