Desktop automation - distribute software, automate processes, reduce IT workload

 

  • Unlimited possibilities for automation
  • Simple, intuitive creation of client jobs/commands via drag & drop
  • Standardize complicated configuration processes

 

The Desktop Automation is the heart of the acmp Suite and forms the technological basis for efficient, scalable and secure IT management. Without any programming knowledge, administrators can use the powerful Client Commands to create automated routines for servers and clients - from software distribution and patch processes to complex desktop deployment scenarios.
More than 170 ready-to-use commands enable flexible, reliable automation that makes everyday work noticeably easier and reduces sources of error.

The most important features at a glance

Dynamic grouping function through the acmp container

Comprehensive Unix script distribution with test & release processes
Software packaging with release process
Create and distribute client commands via drag-and-drop
Intuitive automation for any environment

acmp Desktop Automation makes it possible to fully automate recurring tasks. It is so easy to use that even less experienced IT staff can quickly become productive.
Commands can be applied directly to individual clients or entire client groups via drag-and-drop - acmp always ensures correct and secure execution.

Extended inventory - flexible, complete, individual

In addition to the automated hardware and software inventory, any additional information can be recorded - for example:

  • Inventory numbers
  • Room designations
  • Departments
  • Telephone numbers
  • Site-specific data

These values can be filled automatically, queried via a user form or set manually.
Devices outside the network can also be mapped cleanly: Manual Clients ensure that no system is overlooked in planning, evaluations or compliance processes.

Dynamic containers - intelligence that does the work for you

The container concept forms the foundation for automated administration processes. Systems are automatically sorted into suitable groups - depending on freely definable properties.

Example:
If a client reaches a certain memory limit, acmp automatically moves it to a suitable container and starts the defined optimization jobs, such as cleaning up temporary files.
In this way, many unpopular routine tasks take care of themselves - reliably, traceably and in the background.

Maintenance window - maximum control over execution times

To manage complex IT environments securely and predictably, maintenance windows can be stored directly on containers.
This keeps critical systems stable and administration processes fully controllable:

  • No unplanned interventions: Jobs outside a maintenance period are automatically suppressed.
  • Scheduled execution: With the condition "Execute in next maintenance window" , jobs can be moved precisely to approved time periods.
  • Exceptions can be controlled: Authorized persons can deliberately override maintenance windows - clearly documented, with unambiguous responsibilities.

The calendar-based view enables quick planning of recurring periods as well as the creation of one-off special maintenance tasks.
More predictability. Less risk. Maximum stability.

Integrated report engine - evaluate everything, track everything

All automation data can be evaluated flexibly and freely parameterized via the integrated report engine - ideal for:

  • internal documentation
  • Management reports
  • Compliance requirements
  • Audits and evidence

Transparency and traceability are guaranteed at all times.

Managing Unix scripts - heterogeneous environments under control

acmp allows the direct distribution and execution of shell scripts (bash & zsh) via the agent. Perfect for:

  • Automated software installations
  • Configuration changes
  • System-related administration processes

Includes:

  • Test & release processes
  • Operating system filter for precise assignment
  • integrated versioning

This means that even heterogeneous environments can be managed uniformly and consistently.

Drag-and-drop for maximum efficiency

Whether you drag client commands onto clients or clients onto commands - acmp automatically interprets the action correctly and implements all jobs correctly.
This not only makes working intuitive, but also particularly fast, secure and convenient.

We would have to install all the software and network drives for the users manually. The fact that we can now distribute entire batches at the touch of a button saves us at least ten to twelve hours of work a month, just for the roll-outs.
