Engage powerful features to optimize your IT operations
True workload automation (WLA) and orchestration go far beyond traditional job scheduling and batch processing. Here’s a glimpse of what you get with ActiveBatch.
Complete workflow orchestration
Build and manage complex, multi-step workflows across your systems, applications and endpoints.
Event-driven scheduling
Trigger automated workflows with real-time events so you can respond quickly to inevitable changes.
Convenient pre-built job steps
Build cohesive, end-to-end processes like order-to-cash or procure-to-pay without custom development.
Smart resource allocation
Leverage ActiveBatch’s Smart Queue or Heuristic Queue Allocation to provision the right resources at the right time.
Vast extensibility
Connect your business-critical systems and applications via pre-built integrations or the Super REST API adapter.
Empowered users
Allow your team to execute and monitor specific processes while IT handles compliance and governance.
Achieve consistent job execution
Seamless automation can’t get any easier than with ActiveBatch. With event-driven and advanced date- and time-based scheduling, pre-built job steps and a web-based self-service portal, your team can develop automations quicker than ever.
Powerful drag-and-drop integrations make it simple to manage:
Business process automation: Connect to your ERP, HR platforms, BI tools and more.
Cloud automation: Integrate with major cloud vendors, including Amazon, Microsoft and VMware.
Incident management: Enjoy two-way integrations for ServiceNow and Microsoft Service Manager.
Secure file transfers: Set up managed file transfers with support for SFTP, FTPS and web tunneling.
Basic job scheduling solutions have too many constraints for large organizations. Rather than investing in siloed automation tools to make up for what your job scheduler can’t do, choose workload automation and drive efficiency across core functions, from data pipeline management and ETL to infrastructure automation and DevOps.
ActiveBatch supports all your automation needs with:
Customizable templates for your unique systems and processes
Dashboards for single-pane-of-glass visibility across the whole environment
User-friendly tools for business users to run and monitor workflows
The option to deploy in an on-premises, hybrid or cloud environment
“It’s about scalability, and ActiveBatch provides that … Could I go and write scripts for everything we want to do? Yes, but it would take forever, and centrally managing the workflows would be nearly impossible. ActiveBatch provides us with that single point of control.”
— Alan Davis, Network Engineer at Ignite Technologies
Time-based scheduling that’s limited to jobs within a given operating system, such as those created in Windows Task Scheduler, can leave your processes — and business — vulnerable to human error. Instead, experience the freedom of running batch jobs and workflows with as little manual intervention as possible. In ActiveBatch, you can:
Use a wide range of event triggers for batch scheduling business and IT tasks, including email, file events, social media posts, web services events and data modifications.
Choose constraint-based and date/time scheduling, factoring in custom holidays, fiscal calendars and multiple time zones.
Meeting service-level agreements (SLAs) is non-negotiable, but it’s also one of the most stressful factors of IT management. ActiveBatch takes away the worry, engaging in continuous monitoring to prevent job failures and overruns that jeopardize your SLAs. With high availability and non-cluster failover, jobs and plans can be redirected to standby resources, and auto-remediation workflows can be initiated.
Users can also monitor workflows in real time, access in-depth reports and count on notifications to stay informed and stop wasting time fighting fires.
