At ML Consulting we strongly believe that there is a difference between job scheduling and the Workload
Automation Suite. We know that the entire enterprise must be taken into account - and that is exactly what
the UC4 solution achieves. UC4 Workload Automation Suite offers calendar- and event-driven job
scheduling as well as a host of other critical capabilities for the enterprise - including audit trail, global
functionality, business integration and integrated file transfer for your Oracle or SAP environment as well as
all available frameworks from IBM, HP, BMC and CA.
UC4 Workload Automation Suite is IT process automation software that can be used to integrate and
accelerate enterprise workload across an existing IT landscape. UC4 Workload Automation Suite is built on
an enterprise scheduling platform that can be used to manage, monitor, control and synchronize business
applications with IT infrastructure workload—create intelligent, automated end-to-end IT processes that
span multiple applications executing on disparate operating systems.
Non-invasive integration with strategic applications and IT system management tools—using proven and
certified interfaces—ensures existing investments are fully leveraged at no risk. Dynamic dispatching and
management of workload across enterprise servers maximizes performance, throughput and ultimately end-
user availability of IT systems.
UC4 Workload Automation Suite can drive processing based on calendars, events, dynamic data changes,
message queues, database triggers, file arrivals, thresholds, resource availability and more. Complex
dependencies across business applications, IT housekeeping jobs and operating platforms are managed
automatically.
Removing human interactions and reducing latency through advanced automation of manual tasks—from
functional users keying forms input through to IT Operations staff handling a console alert—allows
organizations to become more agile and flexible.
People Integration
UC4 Workload Automation Suite allows IT staff and business users to securely manage and monitor their
activities through role-based views. IT Operations benefit from an intuitive tool that is quick to learn and easy
to work while Production Control teams can rapidly configure and maintain complex automation processes.
Application developers can utilize drag-and-drop, object orientation and rich APIs when integrating new
solutions with workload automation. Business users can drive processing and check reports while senior
management can track overall performance against end-user SLAs and governance directives from a digital
dashboard.
Business Integration
UC4 Workload Automation Suite connects people, applications and underlying IT systems with workflow
templates that map your business processes. Jobs are set to run when the required business conditions
prevail and the necessary IT resources are available. All workload is monitored, all activity is logged, all
exceptions detected and dealt with. All definitions are securely stored and administered in a centralized
repository ensuring business process controls remain fully protected. While automating manual inputs,
report checking and application integration reduces interventions, users remain in control receiving
notifications whenever hands-on attention is required. Out-of-the-box template solutions to match ‘known’
business processes, such as financial period-end close, accelerate project implementations and speed
time to value.
Infrastructure Integration
The UC4 Workload Automation Suite offers comprehensive coverage for the operating systems, IT
management tools and business applications your enterprise relies on as well as rich functionality that
allows you to fully exploit these technologies. Cross-platform workload is dynamically managed and actively
monitored on each target system. Enterprise-wide visibility from a central point of control as well as
seamless connectivity to systems management tools simplifies data center operations. Proven interfaces to
your ERP, CRM, HR, BI applications combined with open-API integration to custom and legacy systems
automates information flow across your IT landscape and enables end-to-end process management.
