Matlock Capital Streamlines Batch Job Scheduling with JAMS

Operations at Matlock Capital needed a way to handle the increasing number and complexity of IT processes while reducing the need for human intervention. They needed a better way to manage the many interdependent overnight jobs post-processing market information needed for trading the next day. They required an enterprise- wide solution allowing them to monitor the performance of jobs across multiple operating systems in multiple locations from a central console. Migrating away from platform-specific scheduling tools posed the threat of delays and increased downtime, but there was a clear need for a solution that could monitor a myriad of job types, handle complicated schedules, and offer robust alerting and reporting. Ease of use and a fast return on investment also played a factor in selecting a batch automation solution. They needed a product that operators could intuitively understand.
