“Migration is our job, not yours.”
1 · Extract
Send us an extract of your ActiveBatch job definitions. You get a conversion assessment within a week.
2 · Plan
You get a tailored migration plan with named owners and dates.
3 · Convert
Our converter translates ActiveBatch job definitions automatically and carries roughly 75 percent of the heavy lifting.
4 · Finalize migration
Your team validates converted jobs and approves the plan. Nothing cuts over until your sign-off.
5 · Cut over
JAMS runs alongside ActiveBatch until your team trusts what it sees. Then you cut over.
Virginia DMV completed an ActiveBatch migration in 10 days. Prime Therapeutics is completing one of the more deeply embedded Tidal conversions JAMS has seen in about four months.
JAMS is an AITEC verified vendor, which makes purchasing simpler for AITEC member firms.
Is it risky?
Our team and our premium partners do these migrations for a living. The converter carries most of the load up front, nothing cuts over before your team trusts what it sees, and you can test it on your own export today.
Will it distract my team?
Switching schedulers was likely not on your strategic priorities list this year. Many people read this page because a renewal number surprised them, not because they went looking for this project. We take on as much of the lift as we can, and we carry the heavy end.
What does it really cost?
Migration services are fixed bid, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Some environments qualify for a free migration. Ask us if yours does.
See it before you talk to anyone.
Free converters for Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, Cron, and Airflow. Send us an ActiveBatch extract and get a converted sample back the next business day.

Three Redwood schedulers compete for the same investment. Only one can be the roadmap priority. This table does not say which.
Ask when your scheduler last shipped something you noticed
JAMS 7.9 shipped a new web client, a full REST API, an MCP server, and JAX, our AI agent that builds, runs, and repairs jobs on command. Connect your own AI tools to JAMS through MCP and pull the reports and dashboards you always wanted. The roadmap moves fast, and customers steer it: three virtual customer summits a year with direct input on what ships next. If you are still deciding, ask us to invite you to the next one and hear how customers actually talk to us.
Keep your partner. Lose the renewal shock.
We do not cut out your partner. If a partner runs or services your ActiveBatch environment today, you can continue to work with them and convert over to JAMS. We are partnered with leading resellers like Bluehouse, Pro2col, and Redsis. If you like your partner, you can keep them and move to JAMS! You do not have to choose between a better scheduler and the people who know your jobs. Contact us, or reach out directly to our partners here.
Real humans on three continents, here for the long haul
JAMS is profitable, so our existence does not depend on the next funding round. We are backed by experienced software investors who believe growth comes from deep customer relationships. We know you keep a scheduler for a decade or two, and we behave like it.
Your region, your team
Support lives in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. We will never outsource this team.
5+ year average tenure
You are not training your vendor’s engineer.
Round robin, not tiers
Senior engineers take new tickets from day one. Nobody gatekeeps you at level one.
Humans answer
We are not replacing our support team with AI agents.

What IT teams say about JAMS
“There are many built-in features when it comes to defining job schedules. For instance, you can schedule a job to run at a specific time, on certain days of the week or month, based on the completion of another job, or on an interval, etc.”
Darrell H.
DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR
“JAMS is an intelligent scheduler, it helped to harmonize different and scattered jobs schedulers into one platform…. JAMS features like event-based scheduling, several integration capabilities and the User-friendly UI are helping us to boost productivity.”
Verified User
