PROBLEM: Organizations are managing an expanding number of applications, databases and technologies that are critical to the successful operations of the organization. Developers who are designing and automating these end to end workflows to manage the business processes are required to share or pass data to the next job step or plan while managing dependencies across systems that were never designed to work together. As a result many IT organizations must rely on creating custom scripts to integrate these systems to more effectively run their business. Custom script creation is time consuming, error prone and expensive, so today's IT organizations are using ActiveBatch Workload Automation to simplify workflow development while reducing errors from manual operations, improve service levels while ultimately reducing the cost of IT operations. SOLUTION: ActiveBatch® Enterprise Job Scheduler and Workload Automation allows IT organizations to develop and rollout end-to-end workflows faster and more reliably than relying on custom script creation or "closed" scheduling systems. The ActiveBatch Integrated Jobs Library provides users with over one hundred templated Job Steps as well as supporting ActiveBatch Extensions designed to simplify the development of business processes composed of applications, databases, and technologies that also includes web services, stored procedures, .Net Assemblies, managed file transfers as well as powerful flow controls. ActiveBatch's Integrated Jobs Library interface allows users to drag and drop job steps into organized workflows that integrate your business and IT operational processes into single or compound workflows without scripting. ActiveBatch has proven itself in over 1300 implementations to: Accelerate the development of end to end workflows that automate your business processes Decrease errors from manual operations Improve IT Service Levels Reduce the overall cost of operations ActiveBatch is an object oriented system that streamlines workflows through its extensive use of job and plan referencing and variables that reduces the number of managed objects so you can reuse objects for maximum flexibility.
