A system and method of automating software fix installation rate management for a software package including two or more hierarchical levels include obtaining information from two or more customer systems. The information indicates software fixes installed at each of the two or more customer systems. The method also includes generating a report corresponding with each of the two or more customer systems. The report indicates a number of the software fixes installed at the respective one of the two or more customer systems as compared with an average number of the software fixes installed at the two or more customer systems at one of the two or more hierarchical levels. Determining whether to increase, decrease, or maintain a rate of installation of the software fixes at each of the two or more customer systems is based on the report corresponding with each of the two or more customer systems.
