Deployment is the process of copying campaigns and their associated assets from the internal campaign creation server to your Web sites after the campaign is approved. Campaigns start running automatically after they have been deployed (or after any future start date specified for them has been reached).

The default ATG Outreach workflow is designed to deploy from the ATG Outreach server to a production (customer-facing) server. However, ATG Outreach can also be configured to use a workflow that deploys first to a staging server and then to a production server. Including a staging server in your environment allows you to test campaigns before they are made visible to customers through the live production site.

You must perform some configuration steps in ATG Content Administration before you can deploy any campaigns or other ATG Outreach projects. Refer to the ATG Outreach Administration and Development Guide for more information.
