Third-Party Patching for MSPs: Modern Package Management Explained

Third-party patching remains one of the most frustrating challenges for MSPs. Native RMM integrations often support a limited number of applications, lack meaningful troubleshooting data, and require endless scripting to handle edge cases.

In this recorded webinar, Jeremy Oaks, Founder of Automation Theory, explores how package management can transform software deployment, third-party patching, and application lifecycle management across thousands of endpoints.

This webinar also introduces ThirdPatch, a package management platform built specifically for Managed Service Providers. Unlike traditional third-party patching tools that focus on a limited catalog of applications, ThirdPatch enables MSPs to manage virtually any software package—from common business applications and browsers to custom line-of-business software—using a consistent, package-based approach. By combining application deployment, version management, automated updates, rollback capabilities, software discovery, and reusable deployment baselines into a single platform, ThirdPatch helps MSPs reduce scripting overhead, improve visibility, and scale software management across their entire client base.

You'll learn:

✅ Why traditional third-party patching approaches create operational overhead

✅ How package-based software management improves scalability, visibility, and consistency

✅ The fundamentals of package architecture, dependencies, version control, and rollback capabilities

✅ How MSPs can create reusable software baselines and client-specific deployments

✅ Strategies for handling edge cases with package pinning and custom package logic

✅ How package management integrates with ConnectWise, NinjaOne, Kaseya, and other RMM platforms

✅ Real-world demonstrations of software discovery, automated deployment, meta-packages, and ad-hoc software installation

✅ The security and architectural considerations behind modern package management systems

Whether you're struggling with third-party patching, looking to standardize software deployment, or exploring ways to reduce scripting complexity in your MSP, this session provides practical insights and real-world examples you can apply immediately.
