MILWAUKEE - January 16, 2009 - Today, Big Bang LLC releases the Universal Imaging Utility (UIU) version 4.0 including new upgrades and features. With IT departments in Milwaukee and around the world struggling with budget cuts and more stringent demands on productivity, local company Big Bang is doing what it can to increase efficiency.

The latest version of the UIU adds additional pre-deployment discovery tools and a new graphic user interface to create even greater ease for the user and allow for more detailed support. The UIU's functionality enables universal deployment of a master Windows image across an entire environment regardless of hardware type or manufacturer. This allows IT departments to maintain best practices, be proactive with security updates, and gain measurable return on investment.

The release of version 4.0 is a benchmark for Big Bang and their mission to create a unique and effective deployment solution for their customers. Said Big Bang president Adam Murphy, "Aside from technical challenges, IT faces two main business challenges. First, despite obvious productivity benefits, IT is not considered a source of revenue, instead, it is viewed as an expense. Second, IT gets the most attention when a failure occurs - the network is down, for example - leading to a skewed quality perspective. We believe our job is to help IT with both their bottom line and their internal image."

Since 2004, the UIU has enabled IT departments to save considerable time and money. Today, Big Bang adds new features to continue to alleviate some of the financial burden IT departments are facing. The goal of version 4.0 is to make the maintenance and deployment of one Universal Windows image even more efficient. The new functionality of version 4.0 allows users to assess their existing environment in more detail, and make appropriate adjustments before deployment, further increasing the efficiency of the program.

The UIU has been effectively deployed to over 1 million PC's worldwide for companies, government and healthcare agencies and educational institutions.
