What does JAMS Scheduler do?

JAMS Scheduler is an automated job management tool that provides scheduling and monitoring capabilities for batch processes executed in the JAMS environment. JAMS was originally developed in 1985 by MVP Systems Software before being purchased by HelpSystems in 2018. JAMS installations can be complex and the software is known to have a heavy footprint. As a result, many organizations have shifted towards cloud-based or cloud-native workload automation solutions such as Redwood. See what you can achieve with Redwood.

What are good JAMS Scheduler alternatives?

JAMS Scheduler offers limited capabilities and often requires specialization in its proprietary scripting language. Workload automation and enterprise job schedulers such as Redwood are often seen as favorable alternatives. Redwood is a cloud-native automation platform that enables users to easily assemble end-to-end processes across on-premises and cloud-based systems. Learn how Redwood's low-code workload automation tool simplifies deployment of powerful automation. See what you can achieve with Redwood.

Is it easy to migrate to a JAMS Scheduler alternative?

Yes, many workload automation vendors make it easy to migrate to their solutions. For example, Redwood uses a fine-tuned methodology to streamline migrations, with team members working alongside customers to ensure a smooth onboarding. Onboarding is often supplemented with additional services such as 24/7 in-house support, periodic health checks to maintain system health and to proactively address future issues, as well as on-demand training courses to make sure IT teams can expand their skills and expertise in order to meet new business challenges.
