Why an Automic Lab on Demand
Setting up an Automic environment manually requires time, infrastructure and expertise. Before a team can evaluate Broadcom Automic Automation, try out a new workflow or validate an integration, it usually has to wait for infrastructure teams, installation tasks and compatibility checks. Innovation often slows down because environments are missing or provisioning cycles are long.
Tricise Automic Labs on Demand removes this barrier. On request, Tricise deploys a fully functional Automic Automation environment in just a few minutes — no installations, no local setup, no complex configuration steps. For the first 72 hours, the lab is completely free, so you can test features, explore the AWI, run scripts, build workflows and understand the value of Automic without restrictions.
As a long-standing Broadcom partner, Tricise’s mission is to make automation accessible, understandable and scalable. The Automic Labs on Demand initiative reinforces this mission by letting users experience automation firsthand — without licensing, installation or infrastructure commitments. Instant access to real Automic environments helps you make informed decisions, accelerate learning and reduce project risks during evaluation and implementation.
Tricise launched the Automic Lab offering as a first version and continuously expands and enhances the service based on real customer use cases, feedback and upcoming product innovations.
How the process works
Getting from request to a running system takes minutes. The process follows four phases: you submit the request, the Tricise automation deploys your lab, you log in and explore, and the environment stays available for 72 hours while you decide on your next steps.
You request your lab through the form on the Automic Lab request page. Besides your contact details and company name, you specify your preferred Automic version and the required lab components: the VM compilation and the required access. Optionally, you indicate whether you are evaluating an Automic SaaS migration, an implementation project, a proof of concept or Tricise tools.
You receive a confirmation and initial setup details within minutes.
The Tricise automation engine deploys your dedicated Automic Lab environment on demand. All components — Automation Engine, AWI, agents and demo objects — are configured automatically, so there is no waiting for infrastructure teams, installation tasks or compatibility checks.
You receive your login credentials as soon as provisioning is complete, typically within a few minutes.
You log in to your Automic Lab via the Automic Web Interface (AWI) and start exploring workflows, scripts, agents and integrations. The workspace is dedicated to you, hosted remotely and isolated from your own systems, so you can execute jobs, build workflows and try out ideas without production risk.
Your environment remains fully available for 72 hours, free of charge. Use the time to monitor performance, build workflows and simulate real-world automation scenarios. After 72 hours, the lab expires and is cleaned up automatically.
If you want to move beyond testing, you can contact Tricise at any time to discuss implementation projects, PoC support, Automic SaaS migration or full managed services. Tricise helps you turn the insights from your lab into a scalable, production-ready automation solution.
What’s in the lab
Each Automic Lab on Demand includes a complete ecosystem that mirrors a professional automation environment. The setups are realistic and enterprise-grade: they include the Automation Engine, agents, the AWI, certificates and predefined use cases for true PoC scenarios. The components below are part of every lab; the Automic version and the VM compilation are the choices you make in the request form.
What you can use the lab for
Whether you are completely new to Automic Automation or already planning a migration, the lab gives you an environment to explore the platform’s capabilities. Companies use the labs to validate workflows, test integrations, train new team members or prepare for implementation projects.
Explore Automic without commitment
The lab is a hands-on entry point into the platform without any upfront investment. Instead of a theoretical evaluation or lengthy setup phases, teams interact directly with the system, execute jobs, build workflows and understand how automation behaves in real enterprise scenarios. This makes it easier to evaluate capabilities and identify potential use cases.
Validate your ideas quickly
New ideas can be tested immediately. Whether it is a new workflow, an integration or an optimisation scenario, teams validate concepts in a dedicated environment and make faster, data-driven decisions without impacting existing systems.
Prepare for real projects
Before changes are rolled out into production, configurations and scenarios need to be tested in a controlled environment. The lab lets teams simulate real-world conditions, validate setups and reduce risks before implementation, which leads to more stable deployments and better project outcomes.
Train teams and build skills
Companies use the lab to train new team members, and independent learners get a free and structured way to build foundational skills without setting up their own infrastructure. The optional hands-on exercises from Tricise University provide a practical and guided entry point into the Automic ecosystem.
Evaluate a migration or a project
In the request form, you can indicate what you are evaluating: an Automic SaaS migration, an implementation project, a proof of concept or Tricise tools. For organisations evaluating long-term adoption, the lab can be complemented with consulting engagements, including Automic SaaS Migration Services, architecture guidance and operational support through Application Managed Services (AMS).
