FirstOntario Automates Entire Job Scheduling Process
FirstOntario began in 1939 when a group of employees at the Steel Company of Canada created the Stelco Credit Union. Today more than 115,000 Ontarians choose FirstOntario for their financial needs – from chequing and savings accounts to loans and mortgages and highly qualified investment advice. FirstOntario Credit Union is a leading credit union located throughout Southwestern Ontario region
FirstOntario Credit Union was utilizing disparate job scheduling tools for its IBMiSeries, Windows and Linux platforms. Using multiple job scheduling tools required the company to monitor each scheduler separately, decreasing visibility and the amount of time and resources allocated to each job scheduling solution. Unable to automate their processes in one environment, the IT team sought a solution that works across platforms without specialization, and that could also standardize processes and consolidate existing tools.
FirstOntario Credit Union selected Stonebranch's technology to replace its diverse agent infrastructures with a single enterprise-wide execution layer, the enterprise execution environment. This unique approach provides FirstOntario with central auditing and monitoring of workload activity across the enterprise as well a central management of the entire workload infrastructure — as if it were a single system.
