ActiveBatch® Workload Automation Conquering IT Complexity

Solutions for Automating IT Job Scheduling

Overcoming IT Boundaries with ActiveBatch Workload Automation

"You can't conquer IT complexity with more complexity...you need simplicity."

IT 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.

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. Our 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 1,500 implementions 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. ActiveBatch supports industry accepted technologies and protocols, including full support of the Microsoft security model (Activity Directory) as well as being script language independent.
