Redwood's reliable processes and advanced migration tools make for a smooth transition from existing workload automation tools and job schedulers to RunMyJobs. Our proven migration approach is designed to mitigate risks, drive efficiency and our dedicated migration team will work closely with your team through every stage.
We assign a dedicated team, conduct a thorough analysis of your existing processes, and identify a phased migration plan that starts with your organization's low-risk processes, allowing your teams to gain confidence in the migration process.
We start with a non-production environment to safely import and test your existing workload automations by using proprietary Mercury conversion tools to efficiently copy over your workload automations and give your teams hands-on experience.
We verified all processes with acceptance testing and QA testing. Once it's approved, we will move individual process automations into production. We deliver results by using our agreed-upon phasing plan and go-live checklist.

As Aristotle once said, “He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.” Aristotle may not have imagined his quote being used in a blog about workload automation migration fears, but his words ring true nonetheless. And having a fear of migration is legitimate. What you currently use for automation might be “ok” and
The COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations to rapidly implement digital-first services, operations and business models.

Yes. For example, Redwood’s SaaS architecture eliminates the overhead of infrastructure and ongoing maintenance of the workload automation platform. Redwood also includes all features with unlimited connections to applications, services, and servers without licensing additional plugins. With Redwood’s simple pricing model, you only pay for the jobs you run, gaining enterprise-grade flexibility and scalability to help you grow. Explore why Redwood’s unified cloud platform lowers ownership costs.
There are several reasons organizations may be looking at BMC Control-M alternatives, including the age of the tool, cost and complexity. Control-M is older, which makes it much less flexible end-to-end.
Also, the infrastructure is complex. For example, if an upgrade is needed, BMC Control-M often requires teams of people, multiple notifications, and dedicated downtime.
It is also expensive and can be error-prone. So, there is a chance that the optimizations you have made do not work. With BMC Control-M being based on a schedule, all IT processes need to be pre-scheduled in a sequence, which means you end up with longer processes allowing for buffer time. And the system must be shut down every day to predict the next day’s schedule, which means you are not really responding to things in real-time.
Lastly, scalability is challenging for BMC Control-M as you grow, despite cloud-based technology changing over the last 20 years. Change management has not evolved, unlike Redwood, so it feels like you are continuously “bolting on stuff to your car” instead of innovating past legacy capabilities. You can do it, but it will not work the way it optimally should as there are a lot of dependencies.
Need a BMC Control-M alternative? Try Redwood. We’ve hit over 50 billion automations this year and have catapulted hundreds of businesses to the next level of efficiency and productivity.
BMC’s Control-M solution is based on an architecture that is not well-suited to the needs of a modern enterprise. It requires a large installation footprint that is burdensome and time-consuming to update when security patches are needed. It has high operational and administrative costs as a result. A solution that performs more automation through agentless APIs and offers updates that upgrade every element simultaneously in minutes is significantly easier to run. See how Redwood’s SaaS delivery allows IT organizations to focus on automation not administration.
