Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / IT
English term or phrase: to deploy / deployment
I come across this all the time and would appreciate some input from IT specialists:

I know that 'Deployment' can be used in German as well, along with the awkward sounding verb 'deployen.' However, I try to avoid the latter and have frequently used 'installieren' instead. Is this a good solution? I'm getting the sense that in some cases there is a difference between installing and deploying a software solution. What is it? What are the correct German equivalents?

bereitstellen / zur Verfügung stellen


Explanation:
I know exactly where you're coming from with your question! It's one of "those" terms... where finding a good equivalent is tough.

I've often seen (and used) "bereitstellen", and where it was appropriate within the context, I have also used "zur Verfügung stellen". (The latter espec. in the context where a developer or administrator puts a software solution on the web or on a server for his users to download at their leisure.)

Just a couple of alternatives, hope they help.

Einführung


Explanation:
'deploy' geht weiter als 'install'.
Beispiel: wenn die xyz-Software in 5 Ländern auf 2.500 Rechnern installiert werden soll und das Ganze ist ein Großprojekt, dann handelt es sich ganz bestimmt um ein 'Deployment', also um eine breit angelegte Einführung von Software (also auch im Sinne von 'Verteilung').
Aber wie so oft ist der Kontext entscheidend.
