Enterprise-Ready
Works with existing IT tools like Intune and SCCM. Provides signed decisions that IT systems can verify and act on according to their own policies.
Big Picture
Ship evergreen desktop applications that work with enterprise IT policies and regulated environments.
Why Big Picture?
Section titled “Why Big Picture?”Big Picture helps software vendors ship modern, continuously-updated desktop applications while remaining compatible with enterprise IT policies, regulated environments, and modern security expectations.
Unlike update frameworks that bypass IT controls or licensing platforms disconnected from release governance, Big Picture unifies release management, licensing, and policy enforcement into a single, enterprise-ready system.
Regulated Environments
Supports self-hosted deployments, vendor-controlled mirrors, and air-gapped operation. No inbound firewall requirements—everything works outbound-only.
Modern Licensing
Lease-based licensing with short-lived tokens. No brittle offline keys. Supports per-user, per-machine, and floating licenses with cloud or local license servers.
Policy-Driven
Explicit update modes, version pinning, staged rollouts, and per-tenant rules. Makes self-updating software acceptable in enterprise environments.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”Big Picture is a control plane, not an installer. It evaluates releases, policies, and licensing, then returns signed decisions that your applications and IT systems can verify and act on.
- Signed metadata everywhere — Every update decision and license lease is cryptographically signed. Clients verify signatures before trusting any guidance.
- Vendor-controlled mirrors — Regulated customers can fully self-host artifacts while maintaining trust in vendor-signed metadata.
- Flexible deployment — SaaS, vendor self-hosted, or fully isolated downstream mirrors. Same client contract, different deployment models.
