Featured Customer |
JAMS was the only product I was able to find that met our specific requirements," stated David Rochford, CTO at DDI. "I spent months looking for a solution that was similar to a product that I used years ago on an HP3000 midrange system. JAMS fit the bill.
We selected JAMS primarily for its security model that separates who can run a job from who the job runs as. Everything else was icing on the cake. The setups are very powerful. SSH support has been very helpful and has allowed us to automate certain functions on our SAN.
JAMS gives Windows systems the batch processing capabilities needed to automate and manage batch processing effectively.
My staff's time is freed up by JAMS and it allows us to spend our time working on projects rather than administrative and routine work. MVP has been great to work with and is the type of vendor I look for in new products. They listen to feedback on the product and implement new features that make sense. They have done a good job supporting DDI when we've had questions and issues. |
