IT Automation from baramundi

Prefer an Express Mode with an intelligent wizard that deploys applications in just a few clicks — or want full control to select every option yourself? With baramundi’s Software Deployment tools, you get maximum flexibility. Applications can also be grouped into functional bundles, and technical dependencies between applications can be clearly defined, giving you complete control over your deployment workflow.

Prefer to install software natively with original setups or choose an alternative method? Want to involve users, letting them know when installations are happening, or run them silently in the background?

With baramundi’s IT Automation tools, admins get full control, and users get a voice in the process. They can choose the exact timing or reschedule installations within a defined window.

The integrated self-service portal makes software easily accessible, allowing users to install applications on demand. Throughout every process, you maintain a clear overview of the current status, and just as easily as you install software, you can remove programs, no matter how they were originally deployed.

baramundi provides an easy-to-understand scripting language for creating and editing workflows. Using drag & drop, common administrative tasks can be handed over to the baramundi Management Suite in minutes: quickly create response files for automated installations, scripts for specialized setups or admin tasks, or UI controls for non-native installation routines.

A major advantage: once tasks and components are created, they can be reused at any time. The more you use the baramundi Management Suite, the greater the benefit grows.

Not every application can be controlled automatically via response files — some require UI scripts. With the Automation Studio, even challenging setups can be handled quickly and easily, allowing you to install software using the vendor-provided setup without hassle.

You can use baramundi variables in scripts to dynamically generate things like language variants, client-specific settings, or installation paths. This significantly reduces administrative effort and even allows fully automated rollouts.
 

Custom scripts can be stored in a central repository and deployed to multiple devices via the baramundi Management Suite. Results are immediately available in the Management Center.

IT Automation means that repetitive IT tasks—like software deployment, system configuration, or user management—are executed automatically using rules, scripts, or tools. This saves time and relieves IT teams in day-to-day operations.

IT Process Automation (ITPA) is a subset of IT Automation. It automates entire workflows, such as creating new user accounts, escalating tickets, or managing backups, driving greater efficiency across IT operations.

IT teams today manage more systems than ever. IT Automation standardizes routine tasks, enables rapid responses, and makes IT processes scalable.

A common example is automated software deployment: A new update is applied centrally, distributed to selected devices, and documented—all without manual intervention, but with immediate success feedback.

Automated deployment saves significant time, reduces installation errors, and ensures all systems are up to date. For large environments, automation is essential for both security and efficiency.

With IT automation tools or scripts, tasks like patch management, user provisioning, or reporting can be executed automatically.

IT Workflow Automation helps define and execute processes automatically—such as approvals, escalations, or compliance routines. This improves collaboration, accelerates IT operations, and ensures transparency.

Scripts automate individual tasks. An IT Automation Platform goes further: it offers centralized control, role management, monitoring, visual workflows, and integrations with other systems—making it scalable, reliable, and secure.
