SOLVE YOUR BIGGEST JOB SCHEDULING HEADACHES WITH JAMS

As an IT pro, your time and talents shouldn’t be wasted navigating disparate applications, chasing down issues, or finding workarounds for your jobs. JAMS doesn’t just simplify your job schedule—it simplifies your life. Here are the biggest benefits of JAMS enterprise job scheduler:

Centralize Your Automation
Get more value out of your existing technology platforms and business applications by orchestrating jobs under a single pane of glass for easy monitoring and management. There are no limits to what types of jobs JAMS can run.
Save Time with Alerts & Notifications
Gain the ability to respond to issues and failures faster—and with better insights—to save on time and headaches from searching for unknowns. JAMS warns you whenever a job is having trouble, so you can address issues before they impact your business.
Gain Flexibility
JAMS works with your schedule and your dependencies—not the other way around. Run jobs daily, at a certain time, or day of the week. Or apply dependencies such as the presence of a file or completion of another job for a schedule that runs on your terms.
Scalability
JAMS grows as you grow with a truly scalable enterprise platform. Run all your jobs in JAMS under fair, flexible licensing. Put agents on whatever servers and environments you need to easily scale up or down to meet business requirements.
Get Insights
Automatically generate reports to easily gather information and trends about your job schedule to determine growth and easily facilitate KPI tracking. See how your environment performs over time to make improvements accordingly.
Process Management
JAMS has advanced security and auditing capabilities that give you full control over who can access, create, modify, and schedule jobs. Permission settings allow for easy delegating of ad-hoc job submissions to non-technical users. Plus, full logging to make it easy to stay compliant and beat SLAs.
