Automation is the key to driving efficiency and productivity. Most importantly, it saves time and resources. Besides, it significantly reduces the number of mistakes and losses associated with errors due to manual processing.
One of the companies approached Prismberry with an aim to automate a web application that installs and configures other applications on Windows using the IIS Web Server with all the dependencies and required applications like FileZilla, MySQL, etc. Let’s elaborate on the challenges and see how Prismberry developed a transformative automation solution that helped the company save time and resources.

Increase in Energy Efficiency
The installation of applications and libraries required a manual, lengthy process on different machines. The agonizing process took 4-5 hours and a developer to execute the process, resulting in many inefficiencies and possible mistakes. Besides taking several hours to install, the process required multiple iterations, which increased the complexity and consumed a lot of time.
Prismberry’s solution not only automated the installation but rather also acted as an all-encompassing, effective system satisfying and surpassing the expected requirements. Our team of experts developed a Windows Native installer that can install all the pre-requisite applications and put all the files in the desired location. Besides, our experts added additional functionality to make a robust application:
01. Database Configuration
The installer configured the SQL database and created a database along with the pre-requisite data into a dedicated table.
03. IIS Webserver Activation and Configuration
The installer can start the IIS web server and dynamically configure the website to the server so as to provide a smooth and very efficient setup.
02. FTP Client and Server Setup
The installer sets up the FTP client and server, and, in the process, it also creates FTP users that are vital for the website usage.
