Benefits of AppWorx Workload Automation For Your Ellucian’s Banner

• Automate recurring business processes, such as administration and record-keeping, while complying with state and federal reporting requirements.
• Batch jobs are processed accurately.
• If there are any inconsistencies or job failures, Automic for Banner immediately sends email notifications to the appropriate personnel.
• Significantly improve your return on investment.
• Automating batch processing and report generation.
• Eliminating server overload by using a combination of features (AppWorx provides queues to control the number of jobs that can be submitted to a server at any given time, can spot duplicate runs of the same reports, and can delay impromptu reports submitted by individuals until all regularly scheduled reports are processed, etc.).
• Eliminates the need for developers to write shell, PERL, or batch scripts to automate scheduling.
• Automatically keeps a history of every job run, the parameters that were used, and the output generated at each step. These records are readily available for viewing online and can be printed for reference.
• Export and import utilities make migration an error-free, repeatable process. Database logins, printers, and libraries can be mapped when you are moving process flows to a new environment. Mapping eliminates potentially erroneous code changes.
