Scripting Factory

Interactive software installations in companies often have to be carried out. Simple installations merely need the input of basic information and are therefore easy to carry out. Others by comparison are much more complex and challenge even the most experienced PC technician; this is where they can quickly lead to serious mistakes.

Therefore the best installation is one that is carried out automatically - one in which no operator input is necessary. An individualized, i.e. perfectly adapted to your requirements, automatic installation which already contains all of your company's specifications, is even better. For this, applications have to be specifically prepared.

Are you also considering introducing an automatic software distribution and installation? Possibly in connection with the instalment of a new operating system? Do you have the special MSI package know-how in your company? Are standards and processes clearly defined? Do you know what status your applications have? Or can we help you here?

The solution: Scripting Factory

Our service package "Scripting Factory", based on ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library), is the combination of processes, databank systems and remedies, which simplify and optimize the packaging process in your company. We guarantee, in compliance with Best Practices, for the establishment of standards and thereby achieve a consistently high quality when scripting.

In addition to our technical solutions, we can offer you our experience and expertise in this area - combined with an understanding for your business and your requirements.

What does our Scripting Factory solution do for you?

• Reducing the complexity
  We will find out with you, which applications you are using, how they are configured, who uses them, who and how they are supported and tested. The important thing is to figure out which functions are really needed in the existing programmes. At this point it is often clear that the number of installed applications - i.e. graphic programmes - could be reduced. This not only saves costs on software licences, but minimizes the expenditures for support and training. The completed application catalogue provides the basis for the Scripting Factory.
• Setting Processes and Standards
  The knowledge collected in the afore-mentioned step flow as "input" into our Scripting Factory. That is where the specific information about repackaging and testing is defined, in addition to information about all applications. The advantage is: as soon as this application is needed - it doesn't matter where in your company - everything that one needs to know about it is available. That way applications can be made available, in complete form, in a short period of time, without much effort.
• Script and Packaging
  Our experts script applications based on Installshield Adminstudio, NetInstall, ManageSoft and Microsoft SMS. All of your company's printer set-ups and format templates are automatically set when a (re)packaging is carried out. This avoids a lot of application mistakes - and at the same time reduces their time and work-intensive removal.
• Tests
  All applications are tested before they are made available, to determine whether they will run within the company's environment. Possible conflicts will already be identified in this phase - and removed. This spares your users a lot of frustration, your technical service time and your company money.
• Appropriation and Distribution
  Irregardless of what technology you have in your company - our specialists guarantee that the software packages in the "data warehouse" are available, so that they can be distributed immediately and without any problems. For you this means that the requested software can be quickly made available on inquiry, at the right time, for the right user, in the form needed.

What advantage do you have from all this?

By determining company-specific standards, scripting running times are significantly shorter. The error ratio is reduced. This already saves your company time and money.
The establishment of software packages which are able to be distributed guarantees that your customer's requirements can be quickly met - and, thus, their satisfaction rises.
Your desktop availability rises due to the Scripting Factory - and that with overall lower costs.
