Integrate All Your Batch Jobs with a Single Enterprise Job Scheduling Tool

If you’re still using a traditional batch job scheduler, you’re not getting what you need. While batch job scheduling still has a place in many IT shops, it’s far more complex than it used to be, due to the use of multiple computing platforms and business processes that run 24x7. Classical scheduling tools just aren’t flexible enough to handle that complexity. As a result, businesses often end up running multiple scheduling tools, resulting in “islands of automation.”

UC4 V8™ gives you the enterprise-wide control you need. It not only performs batch scheduling across all your computing environments—on-premise, virtual, and cloud—but also does much more. For example, it can integrate existing (legacy) schedulers and new applications, streamlining your IT operations with true end-to-end automated processing. If you’d like to completely replace your legacy batch schedulers, our proven conversion tools make that easy, too.

The product’s built-in security with AES means you can safely allow it to be used by a broad range of users. And it documents all operations with comprehensive statistics and reports, giving you a secure and complete audit trail that’s instantly available.

All this with just one enterprise job scheduling tool: UC4 V8.

UC4 Performs Company-Wide Batch Scheduling for Allianz in Germany

Allianz Shared Infrastructure Services SE (ASIC), one of the largest in-house IT service providers in the financial services and insurance sectors, manages the IT infrastructure of 23 Allianz companies in Europe and Russia. ASIC had previously employed job scheduling tools from three different providers to manage workloads on disparate platforms. To enhance productivity and reduce costs, the company decided to consolidate all its batch scheduling into a single cross-platform solution, using the UC4 platform. ASIC now has a company-wide scheduling platform that runs over 4,000,000 jobs per month, with 48% performed on client-server systems and 52% on mainframes. And it’s all administered and monitored using a single, central user interface.

“Quality, security, and cost-effectiveness are three key features of any good IT infrastructure—and UC4 has delivered what it has promised here. We now have a new IT infrastructure that allows us to deliver services at the level of quality our customers demand.”

Martin Fuchs, Head of Team Application Operations Procedures, ASIC
