1. A system for configuring multiple computing devices over a network from a single software application, the system comprising:

  • a non-transitory storage device;

    a communication device;

    one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the storage device and the communication device;

    at least one module stored in said storage device and comprising instruction code that is executable by the one or more processors and configured to cause said one or more processors to;

    identify the multiple computing devices over the network, wherein the computing devices are accessible over the network, and wherein each of the computing devices comprises a hardware configuration;

    link each of the computing devices to the single software application, wherein the single software application comprises a feature to communicate an instruction to configure each of the computing devices;

    receive the instruction to configure each of the multiple computing devices, based on user input in the single software application;

    determine commands that are executable by each of the multiple computing devices to configure each of the multiple computing devices, wherein the determination of commands is based on the instruction received from the user to configure each of the multiple computing devices and the hardware configuration associated with each of the multiple computing devices;

    determine criteria that indicate whether a computing device has been correctly configured;

    communicate the commands to each of the multiple computing devices to configure each of the multiple computing devices, wherein prior to communicating the commands to configure the multiple computing devices, the multiple computing devices are preconfigured to perform a function;

    wherein the instruction further comprises additional criteria to determine that the ability of each of the multiple computing devices to perform the function after being configured has not been interrupted;

    receive a status regarding configuration from each of the multiple computing devices based on communicating the commands;

    compare the status of the configuration of each of the multiple computing devices with the criteria;

    receive a status of the ability of each of the multiple computing devices to perform the function;

    compare the additional criteria with the ability of each of the computing devices to perform the function;

    determine whether each of the multiple computing devices was configured correctly based on comparing the status of the configuration of each of the multiple computing devices with the criteria; and

    provide an electronically viewable indication on the single software application as to whether each of the multiple computing devices was configured correctly.
