Ivanti Identity Automation (IVIA)
Course Overview
In most IT departments, a large share of the working week disappears into the same jobs repeated again and again: installing software on new machines, applying configuration changes, preparing servers, and running maintenance tasks. Done by hand, these jobs are slow, depend on who performs them, and are easy to get slightly wrong.
Ivanti Automation training in Saudi Arabia shows administrators how to move that work onto a central automation platform. The Ivanti Identity Automation (IVIA) course is a three-day programme on Ivanti Automation, formerly known as RES ONE Automation. Learners plan the environment, install and set up the components, configure master caching, and build Modules, Projects and Run Books that automate tasks and provision resources. Advanced topics such as parameters, conditions, evaluators, variables, and the Linux agent make automations flexible, and job scheduling lets them run unattended.
Course Structure and Key Details
The course runs for three days and is available as public classroom training, virtual learning, and private company events. It takes learners from planning an Ivanti Automation environment through to building, scheduling, and administering automated tasks.
The first part of the course sets the foundations. Learners are introduced to Ivanti Automation and what it can automate, then study the infrastructure behind the platform and how its components work together. They go on to install and set up Ivanti Automation, and then configure master caching, which helps distribute automation content efficiently across the environment.
The core of the course is task automation and resource provisioning. Learners create Modules, which hold the individual tasks to be performed; combine them into Projects; and build Run Books that chain jobs together across one or more machines. They then schedule these jobs so that work runs at the right time without supervision.
The advanced topics module shows how to make automations reusable and adaptable through parameters, functions, conditions, evaluators, and variables. It also covers Snapshot Intelligence and the Ivanti Automation Agent for Linux. The course ends with administration and integration, so learners can manage the platform day-to-day and connect it with the wider IT environment.

Vision 2030 has pushed ministries, banks, energy companies, healthcare groups and telecom operators across Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam to deliver more digital services, often without a matching increase in IT headcount. Much of the pressure falls on routine administration: creating accounts, deploying software, applying configuration changes and preparing new servers. Ivanti Automation training in Saudi Arabia shows administrators how to hand that repetitive work to a central automation platform. Over three days, learners plan and install the Ivanti Automation infrastructure, configure master caching, and build Modules, Projects, and Run Books that run consistently across many machines. Advanced topics such as parameters, conditions, evaluators and variables make automations flexible, while job scheduling lets tasks run outside working hours. Because every automated task runs from one console with consistent steps, teams also reduce the configuration errors that often create security gaps.
