MillerCoors will be running JAMS across all of their breweries in order to streamline all batch processing across the enterprise.

A number of factors were involved in the selection of JAMS at MillerCoors. First, MillerCoors needed an enterprise scheduling system that supported both Windows and OpenVMS as primary scheduling platforms. JAMS' cross-platform, cross-application job scheduling fit the bill.

Second, MillerCoors was using a legacy solution from another vendor and there was concern about the amount of effort that would be required to move from the legacy platform to a modern solution. The good news for MillerCoors is that MVP offers batch scheduling conversion utilities for most other solutions. As a result, MillerCoors converted most of their jobs into JAMS in less than three weeks.

JAMS gives MillerCoors much more automation, control, and visibility over processes running throughout the breweries across North America. JAMS provides alerts if jobs fail anywhere in the workflow. As a result, JAMS can take proactive measures to keep processes flowing.

Twenty two new customers signed on to use JAMS in December 2009. Combined with the new customers that signed on in October and November, MVP had its best quarter ever in terms of new customers and total revenues.

As a testament to the scalability of JAMS, the customers came from various industries, and ranged in size from small regional school systems to Fortune 500 companies.
