The COSbatch resource pages contain several types of
material to help you get more of the information you need about
the product and the services around it. This includes published
articles and case studies where the information comes from sources
other than OSM so as to give a wider perspective to you as a potential
customer.
If none of these
resources provides the information you are looking for, then feel
free to contact one of OSM's offices by

This
is the main datasheet for COSbatch – OSM's distributed
batch job scheduling application used by enterprises with
a UNIX, Linux or a UNIX/Linux with Windows infrastructure
Using automated
batch job scheduling to reduce cost, improve service levels
and facilitate compliance
Set in the context
of more stringent requirements for user auditing and activity
control which have followed in the wake of recent corporate
governance legislation, this white paper discusses a job scheduling
and IT operations workflow management solution for mid to
large size organizations running UNIX, Linux and Microsoft
Windows operating systems. It delivers benefits in efficiency,
control, improved service levels, security, auditing and compliance.
St.
Jude Medical, Inc. is a $1.6 billion global manufacturing
company of cardiovascular devices with headquarters in St.
Paul, Minnesota. The company sells products in more than 120
countries and has 19 principal operations and manufacturing
facilities worldwide. The company installed COSbatch
to manage the batch job load for their MFG/PRO ERP suite from
QAD running in an HP-UX environment. By doing so, they both
freed some 10-15% of system operator time and enabled earlier
completion of batch windows with their associated vital business
processes.
COSbatch
enables NWL's IT services to run large processes 24 x 7 on
their client-server IT infrastructure, which replaced a service
based on mainframes, even though the data centre is normally
unmanned during the night. Some 400 batch jobs are now run
every night and COSbatch is relied upon to ensure they
are completed by start of work next day.
The
largest provider of technical repair manuals selected COSbatch
job scheduler together with a number of other COSMOS applications
because they wanted to have complete centralized control over
their very large Digital datacenter environment
NEDL
– Northern Electric Distribution Ltd – is a major electricity
distribution company in the UK. Being a utility company, NEDL
considers 24 hour by 7 day operation standard and has a large
consumer community to serve. NEDL uses COSbatch to
automate their complex batch processing workload, and products
from BMC Software and Proxima to assure availability. OSM
has supplied both integration products and services to make
this batch processing environment a seamless one
With
concerns about the batch processing reliability of its new
Unix-based Baan platform, Avery Berkel, high-tech weighing
systems and food processing equipment specialist, chose to
implement OSM’s powerful COSbatch tool. In doing so,
it has achieved precise control over the complex timing, scheduling
and sequencing of regular business critical batch jobs running
on the new platform.

as used by OSM Professional Services, trainers and sales personnel
as an introduction to the technical structure and features
of the product (37 frames, PowerPoint presentation)
