CENTRALIZE IT PROCESSES WITH ALL-IN-ONE WORKLOAD AUTOMATION AND JOB SCHEDULING
JAMS is a comprehensive workload automation and job scheduling solution that orchestrates critical jobs across platforms, applications, APIs, and scripting languages. JAMS goes beyond the basic capabilities of native schedulers to better run, monitor, and manage event-driven workflows across your entire IT environment.
What is Workload Automation Software (WLA)?
Workload automation (WLA) software orchestrates the background processes and back-office business systems that keep your business running to ensure jobs are executed reliably and securely. WLA goes a step further than job scheduling by focusing on entire systems—not individual platforms. WLA tools support jobs and scripts—like PowerShell and others—running on-premises, in the cloud, and in multi-step workflows that integrate disparate systems and applications.
You may have heard other terms for workload automation—like batch processing, application automation, or resource automation—but WLA is a more accurate term as it encompasses more complex business processes and diverse servers and platforms.
How Do IT Teams Leverage JAMS?
Workload automation software helps IT teams streamline and automate workloads to free up time, save money, reduce risks, and stay compliant. There are many processes to automate with WLA and many ways to make the life of your IT team easier, including:
- Unifying jobs from multiple platforms and applications, whether on-premises or in the cloud
- Leveraging diagnostics to optimize performance
- Automatically identifying and responding to jobs that could impact SLAs
- Enhancing your alerting, notification, and auditing capabilities
- Managing your environment more efficiently with variables and parameters
- Implementing event-based scheduling to trigger jobs from files, emails, and more
Beyond the software, JAMS fosters an automation community and training opportunities—like JAMS University—designed to help users automate smarter. Plus, offering unmatched support that users describe as top-notch, thorough, friendly, and responsive.

JAMS vs Native Schedulers
How do I get started with Workload Automation Software? Organizations of all sizes are realizing that workload automation software isn’t just a nice-to-have solution—it’s a must have. Businesses often navigate to WLA when they’re looking to replace native schedulers like Windows Task Scheduler, Cron, or SQL Agent, that lack the advanced features they need.

YOUR PARTNER FOR A PAINLESS MIGRATION
Our goal is to make your transition to JAMS quick, efficient, and painless. Our utility can pull the core properties—schedule, exceptions, credentials, and job source—from popular scheduling tools directly into JAMS. The conversion utility, along with our migration services, help you get up and running quickly to start seeing an immediate return on investment.
Complexities in your workflows? No problem!
Some properties like complex dependencies can be difficult to automatically map, especially if you’ve implemented workarounds in your tool. Our utility identifies these exceptions so they can be addressed separately, helping you regain control of your jobs so you can automate smarter.
