Reliable Operation of Workload Automation

Operations, support and migration — with expert know-how for Automic (formerly UC4) and the modern ANOW! platform.

WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Automic and ANOW! – One-Stop Shop for Operations and Migration

Automic (formerly UC4) has been firmly established for years in many banks, insurance companies and the public sector — often in mature, complex environments with hundreds of jobs and dependencies. At the same time, modern platforms such as ANOW! from Beta Systems are gaining importance, while in-house expertise for older UC4 versions is becoming increasingly scarce.

GRASS-MERKUR takes over the operation and support of your job scheduling environment — whether you rely on Automic or ANOW! — and guides you through the migration between these platforms.

We support companies with:

Operations and support for Automic and ANOW!
Expertise in established and modern platforms
Support for migration projects—including migrations to ANOW!
Analysis and documentation of existing job landscapes
Providing dedicated contacts for troubleshooting and inquiries
