PDQ makes device management simple, secure, and pretty damn quick
Our origin story
Our founders, Shawn Anderson and Shane Corellian, spent their careers as sysadmins supporting large organizations. They founded PDQ in 2001 to build IT tools that make the lives of sysadmins easier. We’re proud to say that PDQ is built for sysadmins by sysadmins. (And you know what that means: a fridge full of Monster Energy drinks and Slack channels full of trolling.)
PDQ today
We’ll never forget our scrappy startup roots, but today we’ve got a solid foundation under our feet. And in the last couple of years, we’ve hit a new growth stage, doubling our headcount and acquiring fantastic IT tools like SimpleMDM and SmartDeploy.
From on-prem and agent-based Windows device management to Windows imaging and Apple mobile device management, PDQ has the tools your IT team needs to manage all your devices efficiently (and yes, we like to drink whiskey while we do it).
PDQ through the years

Meeting IT needs across the globe
PDQ was founded in Utah, but sysadmins around the world use our IT tools. Today, PDQ has 25,000 customers globally — with 40% of them outside the United States — and that number continues to grow.
If I had to go back... I couldn’t do it. We would have to bring on several more people just to do what I do with PDQ.

Alternate solutions didn’t have the flexibility I was looking for. It would take me a week and a half to outfit a new lab previously. Now, with PDQ, it takes me a couple hours.
