Does this sound familiar to you:
“…based on time-based schedulers, resulting in latency, idle time and gaps in critical processes. It took many people with “eyes on screens” watching everything to make sure the billing and payment are correct….."
Would you like to predict if your background jobs end on time? Imagine the following scenario:
During the evening, in production environment the over-night batch job chains are started.
The IT application manager is already at home. From his mobile device he logon to the company network, and launches the job progress monitor from his mobile device. The app shows him the overall status of the over-night batch chains.
He can easily identify how many jobs are completed already and how many are still in the waiting queue, when the over-night batch job chains can complete and are the key performance indicators required by the business department can be fulfilled or endangered.
The collection manager can easily check the payment job and can post payments as soon as they are received.
