Outgrown Airflow?
Airflow is a capable way to orchestrate Python data pipelines, but running it in production means owning a scheduler, a metadata database, and a team that knows DAGs. It was not built to also run your Windows tasks, SAP jobs, file transfers, and SQL Agent steps. JAMS orchestrates all of it, out of the box, with no DevOps team required to keep the lights on.
Do not take our word for it. Read the reviews. Our CEO reads and responds to every one.

Built for the Whole Enterprise, Not Just Data Pipelines, Out of the Box
Airflow is purpose-built for Python data pipelines defined as DAGs, and it does that well. But it was not designed for continuous or event-based workflows, and running it reliably at scale takes a dedicated team fluent in Python, schedulers, and executor tuning. JAMS orchestrates Windows, Linux, SAP, JD Edwards, SQL, and file transfers alongside your data pipelines, all from one console, with no code required to get started.
Native job types for Windows, Linux, IBM i, SAP, JDE, and SQL -- not just Python DAGs
Visual workflow and dependency designer, no DAG authoring required
Real 24/7 human support in the US, UK, and Australia -- not community forums
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 (coming soon!), 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.

“Migration Is Our Job, Not Yours.”
1 · Plan
You get a tailored migration plan with named owners and dates.
2 · Convert
Install JAMS and use JUMP, our free migration utility, to pull your Airflow DAGs directly in. No extract required.
3 · Finalize migration
Your team validates converted jobs and approves the plan. Nothing cuts over until your sign-off.
4 · Cut over
JAMS runs alongside Airflow until your team trusts what it sees. Then you cut over.
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?
Standing up and maintaining Airflow was probably a data engineering initiative, not a plan to become a full-time platform team. Moving scheduling and orchestration into JAMS lets your data engineers get back to pipelines instead of scheduler maintenance. 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.
Our Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, Cron, and Airflow converters are already live. Download JUMP and see your own DAGs converted in minutes.
How to Buy JAMS
Most teams know exactly where this ends: a signed contract and a migrated environment. Here is the path to get there, start to finish.
Twenty-two days from first call to signed contract. Most of it is you deciding, not you waiting on us.

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
IN COMPUTER SOFTWARE
“JAMS is great at automating processes that need to send information and variables across multiple platforms and programs. The scheduling functions and file watch triggers are pretty user-friendly and function well.”
