Precision Implements ActiveBatch

Precision implemented ActiveBatch in part because ActiveBatch uses a per-server licensing model instead of charging by usage. This allows Precision to adjust their environment to meet dynamic business needs while leveraging ActiveBatch’s features and capabilities:

  • Automated ActiveBatch workflows are triggered whenever a customer file arrives, decrypting and delivering the file for processing, and also notifying the customer;
  • Further workflows then generate files and reports, compress and encrypt, and deliver to the customer via a prebuilt, ActiveBatch SFTP job step;
  • ActiveBatch runs high-end reporting models automatically during periods of low server usage, optimizing the use of Precision’s hardware and extending server ROI.

In Their Own Words

“The idea of Execution Agents and the point system is great because it allows us to manage our own environment on the fly.”

“We run servers with multiple processors. To go with a job scheduling vendor that charges CPU or processor usage would have been astronomically expensive.”

How Precision Succeeded with ActiveBatch

“By automating tasks for basic things such as ad hoc file transfers to clients, we’ve been able to standardize the processes that everyone uses. It’s streamlined IT operations and has made everybody more self-sufficient, and we’re better off as an IT organization as a result of it.”
