Help get a better understanding of SCCM

[Mysterchr]

I need a little help understanding SCCM. From what understanding I have of it, it's basically group policy and WSUS wrapped into one. Any better description or help understanding what it is and what it does and how it differs from GP and SUS would be greatly appreciated.

In others words... it's another way to centralize everything. Basically it's so.
