Enterprise Job Scheduling and Application Performance Management - A Powerful Combination

Combined Solution Helps IT Organizations Automate to Optimize

Job scheduling and application performance management are typically viewed as unrelated products. They are rarely integrated and you cannot even get them from a single vendor. Why is it that job scheduling and application performance management exist separately when they could work together?

Scheduling of resources is one of the best controls you have in managing your environment, and performance management is at the heart of making sure your applications and processes run correctly. Run too little and not enough gets done. Run too much and nothing gets done.

A robust enterprise job scheduler knows exactly when and what is expected of each application. So the job scheduler is in perfect position to communicate with the performance management software when the slightest error in timing or content is detected so that potential difficulties with the applications that feed the jobs can’t mushroom and derail critical processes. If a job scheduler did that and in turn the performance management software automatically ran expert procedures to correct problems, then enterprises could operate with optimum efficiency. It makes sense that job scheduling and application performance management should be integrated and available from a single vendor.
