Beyond a Job Scheduler.
Indesca™, Stonebranch’s Independent Scheduling Agents solution, gives you the ability to upgrade your current job scheduler to solve mission-critical business problems. We are not a job scheduler. We are the solution to your job scheduling problems. You may need to upgrade your job scheduler, if you have one or more of following issues:

• Your existing scheduler is not or cannot be deployed enterprise-wide.
• You have too many schedulers and none of them can do everything you need.
• You want to integrate with newer applications and technologies.

Consolidate Technology, Improving Business Service
Can you really afford to have two or more groups providing the same business service? Stonebranch's Independent Scheduling Agents solution offers a viable strategy for consolidation of multiple scheduling tools.

A large global healthcare provider was able to consolidate two schedulers to a single scheduler and eliminated backup and application or platform-specific schedulers with Indesca. This single process and view aligned with their ITIL initiative. They are now able to leverage one small team to manage all scheduling using a consistent toolset.

Provide Real-time Information to Business Stakeholders
Let your business drive your visibility requirements, not your software. Our Independent Scheduling Agents solution delivers flexible visibility tools and capabilities to meet your specific business and operational needs.

A leading securities processor used an applications staff to run their own schedules using many different tools. By implementing Indesca, they now keep tabs on schedule progress and status without having to interface with different departments. Because of the success of this process, they now have centralized enterprise scheduling.

Provide Event-driven Processing
Integrating scheduling with business workflows streamlines the business process. Indesca optimizes the integration of business events with your enterprise scheduling to avoid delays and help you maximize revenue.

One financial services customer dynamically schedules workloads to process financial data and orders from investment companies and private-sector customers. Being able to process financial transactions in near real-time is a huge factor in their ability to satisfy and retain their customer base.

Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
Software cost does not stop at the purchase price. Stonebranch’s Independent Scheduling Agents provide real value through our pricing model, integration capabilities and ease-of-use.

A large financial institution was able to consolidate scheduling functionality from six groups to one with Indesca, greatly reducing staffing needs. Quality and efficiency was increased, allowing them to do more with less.
