Case Study: University of Greenwich achieves faster, more consistent infrastructure deployment with Puppet

How the University of Greenwich saved time and resources with automation

The University of Greenwich, a public university in London, struggled with manual on‑premises server builds, inconsistent environments and a lack of version control, which slowed deployment lead times and reduced IT team efficiency.

Working with WM Promus, the university implemented Puppet Enterprise as a unified automation and configuration management platform, added CI/CD and version control, and trained staff in Puppet DSL. This cut environment provisioning to under a day, delivered faster, more consistent deployments, automated routine system management, and improved IT productivity and collaboration.
