**Application Manager** automates how software and drivers reach your endpoints. It handles
packaging, distribution, and ongoing patching so applications stay current without manual
intervention.

## What it does

- **Distribute software** to endpoints and groups from a central catalog.
- **Patch automatically** — keep applications and drivers up to date as new versions are released.
- **Automate routine tasks** with [Automation](/capaone/application-manager/automation/) workflows,
  scheduled or on demand.
- **Control install order** with [Installation Tiers](/capaone/application-manager/installation-tiers/),
  so prerequisites and dependencies are applied before the software that needs them.

More detailed Application Manager guides are being added. If something you need isn't covered yet,
