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 the 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.
