Hero Health - EMIS Web Support Guide

How does the Software Deployment System (SDS) function during EMIS Web installation?

Using EMIS
Beginner

Software Deployment System (SDS) runs invisibly in the background whenever you install EMIS Web. It acts as a central controller, ensuring your PC connects to the EMIS Web Central Patch Server, registers the client, and automatically gathers and applies the right updates.

Key Roles of SDS

  • Registers the local machine and retrieves any pending updates
  • Checks for the latest EMIS Web version
  • Downloads and installs patches in the background
  • Ensures consistency between your PC and your practice’s unique Organisation ID
"Enabling SDS keeps your EMIS Web installation up to date with minimal effort, saving busy practice teams valuable time."
