JAMS tackles one of the greatest challenges facing businesses today - the ability to integrate complex business processes across multiple applications and platforms.

Many business processes require input from various departments and sources before the data can be analyzed, processed and eventually delivered as useful information. Any disruption or latency in the delivery of this data can cause great pain in the form of lost productivity and lost revenue.

JAMS is an easy-to use and extremely powerful Business Process Automation (BPA) solution that is suitable for any size organization. The reliability of JAMS is unprecedented, processing tens of millions of batch jobs for hundreds of companies each and every day.

It’s no wonder that organizations like JPMorgan, Novelis, and the US Postal Service all rely on JAMS to automate their mission critical business processes.

Cross-Platform Scheduling
JAMS Scheduler can orchestrate the execution of processes across multiple platforms with ease. Windows, UNIX, OpenVMS, and Linux are all easily tied together with JAMS.

Resource Based Scheduling
Managing batch processes across the enterprise is complex. As you add more applications and servers, the complexity increases exponentially. JAMS adds another powerful tool to your arsenal, Resource Based Scheduling.

A Resource can be any component that impacts your ability to process information -- disk I/O, memory utilization, database lock contention, and network bandwidth to name a few. Once you've identified your Resources, you specify which Resources are required to run your processes and JAMS takes care of the rest!

PowerShell Support
JAMS includes a PowerShell Host for executing PowerShell scripts. The PowerShell Snap-in comes with more than 20 JAMS-specific cmdlets and a JAMS Provider to expose your JAMS objects to PowerShell.

Date Specifications
Date specifications are easy! JAMS uses natural language date specifications, not complicated codes. JAMS understands any date specification you create:

• “WEEKDAYS”
• "FIRST DAY OF MONTH"
• "LAST DAY OF MONTH"
• "3RD WORKDAY OF PERIOD"
• "2ND TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER"

Workflow Foundation Support
JAMS provides reliable, enterprise support for hosting your Workflows. JAMS includes WF Activities which lets you integrate JAMS into your WF business processes.

Setups
Setups make it easy to define a stream of jobs that can then be managed as a single entity. The jobs in Setup can be a mixture of Windows, UNIX, OpenVMS, and Linux. JAMS takes care of all the details of sequencing and scheduling the individual jobs.

Security
JAMS is completely secure due to the detailed access control. For example, a user may be able to submit a job without being able to see the job definition. And, you don’t have to be an administrator to use JAMS.

Parameters
JAMS has the best parameter handling in the business. Each process can have up to 255 parameters. When an operator or end user requests a job, JAMS will display "fill-in-the-blank" forms to obtain values for a job’s parameters. It also has many features that ensure the correct values are passed to scheduled jobs.

Dependencies
A JAMS process can have an unlimited number of associated job and file dependencies. A job can depend on the completion of another job, the completion of a remote job or it can depend upon the value of a JAMS Variable.

Job Execution History
JAMS tracks all processes that run across your systems. You can query this history immediately. It's updated as soon as processes complete.

Notifications
JAMS can alert you to any issues or problems that may arise. You can be notified when:

• Jobs fail
• Jobs complete successfully.
• Jobs take too long to complete
• Jobs stall
• Jobs run too quickly

Load Balancing
JAMS provides complete server load balancing. JAMS can off-load jobs to servers that are less busy thus enabling you to make the most efficient use of your resources.
