5 · Cut over
JAMS runs alongside CA7 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?
Switching schedulers off CA7 was likely not on your strategic priorities list this year. Many people read this page because a renewal number SHOCKED 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.

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. If you are still deciding, ask us to invite you to the next one and hear how customers actually talk to us.
JAMS Scheduler works alongside the mainframe operations team already running your z/OS environment. Moving off CA7 does not mean replacing that team or their processes.
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.

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.”
