5 Signs It’s Time to Trade Your Job Scheduler for Workload Automation
Discover why WLA platforms are the new standard for business automation.
Job schedulers have held an important place in the history of IT infrastructure and business automation. They addressed the initial problems businesses employed them to solve. Unfortunately, they’re no longer able to keep up with the complexity of today’s IT environment.
Enter workload automation (WLA). Job scheduling is just one small part of what WLA solutions can do. WLA platforms capture all the functionality of the best job schedulers while fulfilling their inherent and increasingly troublesome limitations—yielding powerful productivity and efficiency gains in the process.
Join Andrea Downing, Product Marketing Manager at SMA Technologies, and many of your industry peers for a full breakdown of this pivotal development in the world of automation, as well as which questions you should ask to determine if it's time to trade in your job scheduler, including:
- Are you restricted by date- and/or time-driven scheduling?
- Is your processing execution limited to "pass" or "fail" functionality?
- Are you able to create dependency chains across disparate systems/applications?
- And more
Whether you’re an IT professional, director, VP, or C-suite member, if you want to find out how WLA solutions fulfill the limitations of even the best job schedulers, this webinar is for you!
