 One of the most expensive aspects of the software update management process is to make sure devices are always healthy to receive and report software updates for each software update release cycle.  
 
-Having a way of measuring, quickly detecting and remediating when something goes wrong with on-going change management processes is very important; it helps mitigate high Helpdesk ticket volumes, reduces cost, and improves overall update management results.

-You deploy software updates to secure your environment, but these deployments only reach healthy/active devices. Unhealthy or not ready devices affect the overall software update compliance.
