I believe Configuration Management goes well beyond what was described above. The team in an enterprise usually takes care of the internal applications for the organization like the Human Resource Management Systems, Version Control Systems, provides user with licenses, manages servers with licenses, etc. There are some DB functions that are executed by the team. They usually hold a pool of resources to be used by several teams within a large scale software development organization. They usually take care of performance tuning of an application irrespective of the application being developed. They develop installation support for the product developed by a product development entity. There should be other activities executed by the CM team within an organization. I believe majority of them make use of Python scripting and software like Install Anywhere or their Open Source counterparts to package applications.

Configuration management (CM) is the detailed recording and
updating of information that describes an enterprise's
hardware and software. Such information typically includes
the versions and updates that have been applied to
installed software packages and the locations and network
addresses of hardware devices. Special configuration
management software is available. When a system needs a
hardware or software upgrade, a computer technician can
accesses the configuration management program and database
to see what is currently installed. The technician can then
make a more informed decision about the upgrade needed
