JAMS is an automation orchestration and job scheduling solution that runs, monitors, and manages critical IT processes from a single console, from simple batch jobs to complex, cross-platform workflows. JAMS automates jobs across Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, z/OS, and OpenVMS, with native integrations for the databases, BI tools, and ERP systems already running your business, including SQL Server and SAP. Jobs run on any schedule or trigger off other events, and dependency management keeps multi-step workflows in the right order.
Every job is centrally monitored, with notifications on success or failure and an audit trail of every execution. Built-in conversion tools migrate existing jobs from Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, or Cron without rebuilding them, and JAMS replaces homegrown, single-platform scripts with one centrally managed system.
JAMS includes two AI capabilities at no additional cost. JAX is an AI agent built into the JAMS Web Client. Ask it a question in plain language, and it finds a job, troubleshoots a failure, or looks up how to do something, grounded in JAMS documentation, not general AI guesswork. It acts only when asked, and every change waits for your approval. JAMS MCP brings JAMS into the AI coding tools teams already use, including Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop.
Both run inside the customer's network with the signed-in user's permissions and no elevated AI account, and every action, AI-driven or not, lands in the same audit trail as everything else in JAMS.
For teams managing thousands of jobs across SQL Server, ADF, Airflow, SAP, JDE, and Banner, this cuts tribal knowledge and middle-of-the-night troubleshooting. Knowledge that once lived in one person's head becomes something any team member can ask about directly.
The AI lives in the product, not in the support queue. Support is staffed by humans JAMS will never outsource, based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. New tickets go to long-tenured engineers, and every JAMS customer has the CEO's cell phone number.
JAMS' mission is to reduce the operational burden of critical automation, so teams spend more time on the work automation was meant to free them for.

EasyCron
EasyCron fully supports standard cron expressions that are used in popular Cron implementations (Cronie, Vixie cron Quartz java scheduler, etc.). EasyCron allows users to specify the execution time of a cron job in three ways, by interval, by cron expression, and by manually choosing. Your scripts might generate output during periodical executions. The feature of cron job execution logging allows saving these outputs for later checks. Once you add a cron job, you may see a list of dates and times when will it be executed in the near future. This is called run-time prediction. If cron job execution fails, separate failure logs can be kept (won't get overridden by newer logs of successful execution), thus you can check the failure logs conveniently. Customized HTTP headers can also be sent with your cron job HTTP requests. The HTTP header customization can be used to do HTTP basic authentication, API auth, or send other instructions to the server, etc.
