Asset Manager moves to JAMS and saves $$$
 
 
A leading European investment bank that was using Appworx has just committed to moving to JAMS.  The bank had no real technical issues with Appworx.  The move to JAMS was driven by the bank's frustration that their maintenance fees increased every year and yet the level of support was diminishing.  After evaluating JAMS for close to 3 months, the bank purchased JAMS in July and here is what they had to say:
 
"I just wanted to take a moment and say thanks to you and your team for all of the effort in assisting us with our migration to JAMS.  We're live with JAMS and things are performing well.  Our application development team is also leveraging JAMS any chance they get to save themselves time and resources.  We couldn't be happier with our decision to move to JAMS."

vmwareThis webinar will teach you how JAMS can use VMware functions such as Power On/Off, Standby, and suspend to shut down virtual machines unless there are IT processes dependent upon these virtual machines.  Using JAMS time-based and event-based schedule options, it is easy to integrate VMware backups and snapshots when necessary.  We will also discuss how JAMS can assist you with making the necessary VMware rsources available at peak utilization times.
