Why Choose Autosys Job Scheduler?
As an enterprise-level IT operation manager or infrastructure lead, you’ll be familiar with the challenges of managing critical batch processes in IT.
Various systems and databases make it difficult to keep everything coordinated. Too much data can be processed at peak usage times, leading to lengthier running times and strained resource performance. Troubleshooting causes of mid-process glitches can also take significant time.
AutoSys was developed to streamline workflow and data processing, capture issues earlier, and even prevent them from happening in the first place through a centralised system. You should see a reduced cost on managing IT systems as the automated software acts as a supportive assistant, reliably and diligently performing the background tasks while notifying of any system anomalies that need addressing.
Key AutoSys Features Designed for Modern Data:
- Automates complex batch jobs and IT workloads across platforms like Linux, Windows, UNIX, mainframe and the cloud
- Real-time status updates, providing full visibility on jobs, along with the automation of notifications that trigger actions based on outcomes or system conditions
- SLA tracking with proactive alerting and reporting to reduce manual errors
- Centralised control and visibility for governance
- Supports hybrid IT, event-driven scheduling, and integrates into DevOps ecosystems
- Combine traditional jobs with Hadoop processing (HDFS, Hive, Pig, Sqoop)
- Automate workflows programmatically using REST & SOAP APIs
- Empower data teams with self-service job execution

Why Use AAI with AutoSys
“We had no good way to understand how AutoSys was performing.” Manager, Integration Services
AutoSys is powerful, but without real-time analytics and predictive intelligence, gaps can impact performance. Automation Analytics & Intelligence (AAI) solves critical limitations of AutoSys alone.
Broadcom commissioned a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study to examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises could achieve by deploying Automic Automation Intelligence on top of their workload automation platforms.
A global financial services firm using AutoSys Workload Automation was experiencing frequent SLA breaches due to scale and complexity with a dependence on employees to diagnose issues.
After investing in AAI, they saw significantly fewer SLA breaches and improved collaboration between IT and business teams.

Tackling the Automation Paradox
This eBook explores how fragmented automation tools can hinder business performance. It reveals how a unified automation strategy brings together disconnected systems into a single, end-to-end platform, giving you full visibility and control over complex workloads.
Don't let automation silos hold your business back from growth
Many businesses already have automation software. The problem is that the systems are disconnected. Having separate systems that don’t ‘talk’ to each other can limit the accessibility of data, known as data silos or islands of automation.
