Overall Satisfaction with Redwood Business Process Automation

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We started down the Redwood RunMyJobs path to solve some fundamental issues including intelligent job scheduling, automated daylight saving time adjustment, and greater visibility into the performance of the scheduled jobs. The primary focus was to automate the jobs inside of the ERP system, but we quickly realized the capabilities to work inside of data extract jobs and SQL. The job owners now have access to stop, start, and pause the jobs they are responsible for and it has moved the administration from a single resource into empowering the base.

Alternatives Considered

When evaluating other products against Redwood Business Process Automation, the largest differentiation was the SaaS-based model. Other solutions were on premises, which would entail server OS licenses, backup/DR overhead, and management at the server and application levels. With Redwood Business Process Automation, the overhead and administration at the server and application levels were removed so the only responsibility is the administration of RunMyJobs.
