Modernized Approach
Maintaining an outdated version of your legacy scheduler may actually cost more over the short- and long-term. Ensure you are keeping up with the changing IT landscape and modernizing your approach.
Cloud Requirements & Support
As organizations move to cloud and hybrid environments, cloud support should be clearly defined. Make sure cloud readiness is part of your vendor support strategy as it is with JAMS.
JAMS Conversion Utility
Our goal is to make your transition to JAMS quick, efficient, and painless. Our utility can pull the core properties—schedule, exceptions, credentials, and job source—from popular scheduling tools directly into JAMS. The conversion utility, along with our migration services, help you get up and running quickly to start seeing an immediate return on investment.
Complexities in your workflows? No problem!
Some properties like complex dependencies can be difficult to automatically map, especially if you’ve implemented workarounds in your tool. Our utility identifies these exceptions so they can be addressed separately, helping you regain control of your jobs so you can automate smarter.
