Cronacle is a real-time event-driven process automation and job scheduling solution that can address all asynchronous processing demands within an enterprise. Cronacle can schedule, manage and monitor all background workload across multiple platforms from a central point of control, and will automate and integrate background processing across disparate business applications running in heterogeneous environments.
Cronacle sets a new standard in workload automation and job scheduling by focusing on automation of business related IT workload processes based on just-in-time responses to real-time events. Cronacle delivers an asynchronous environment in which real-time business transactions execute, in addition to fulfilling the traditional enterprise challenge of managing high volume overnight background workload. As well as offering comprehensive adaptive calendar-based scheduling, Cronacle uses business events to control background processing. Advanced dependencies enable the management and control of complete business processes that span multiple systems.

Cronacle facilitates the seamless integration of disparate applications through application connectors and adapters. Organizations realize measurable savings through improved business processing efficiencies as well as increased IT operations productivity.

Cronacle is the subject of a 10 year co-development agreement between Redwood Software and SAP AG that has seen the core Cronacle technology embedded into and shipped with the SAP NetWeaver-- ® web application server stack and that has resulted in SAP selling the solution branded as SAP Central Job Scheduling by Redwood (see http://www.redwood.com/SAP/sap_central_job_scheduling.htm). As part of this agreement Redwood and SAP will jointly develop the next generation of process automation interfaces for the SAP infrastructure.
