1 · Extract

Send us an extract of your Tidal job definitions. You get a conversion assessment back in less than a week.

2 · Plan

You get a tailored migration plan with named owners and dates.

3 · Convert

Our converter translates Tidal 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 Tidal until your team trusts what it sees. Then you cut over.

A large, 10,000 employee pharmacy benefit manager is completing its Tidal conversion in four months, in one of the more deeply embedded Tidal environments we have seen.

Running JDE or Informatica on Tidal today? So do many of the teams we migrate. Ask us about your stack.

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 Tidal 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.

Free converters for Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, Cron, and Airflow. Send us a Tidal extract and get a converted sample back the next business day.

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.

We do not cut out your partner. If a partner runs or services your Tidal environment today, you can continue to work with them and convert over to JAMS. We are partnered with leading resellers like 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.

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.”

“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.”
