Example of automatization of software distribution

As soon as a new computer is delivered, its entry into the ERP system will automatically trigger a prisma process that captures the computer in prisma and assigns it to the appropriate person. A basic software package and additional applications specific to the person/job function will be installed automatically. prisma will report the entire process to the IT administrator by e-mail.
