Fact Sheet:

Automate Batch-Workload Management

Overview

These days, companies demand more from their IT departments. Across every sector of business, the need for computing power is rising while budgets are shrinking. IT managers face the ongoing challenge of delivering results quickly, with fewer personnel or with team members located overseas. There is simply no time to waste addressing inconsistencies within an IT infrastructure.

For more than two decades, ISC has been solving the problems associated with IT Operations. Our software, E-GEN, has been crafted to completely industrialize the production process. By guaranteeing that norms and standards are enforced across every environment, E-GEN greatly speeds up software deployment and makes overall production more efficient.

E-GEN automatically generates all of the technical documentation, ensuring that everything from RFC documents to run books are always up-to-date. More importantly, this documentation is always accurate, giving software engineers immediate insight into jobs and releases.

With E-GEN, your operations runs smoother, with far fewer errors, allowing your engineers to spend less time on production, and more time on growing your business.

An Automated Approach

Whether you use a mainframe or multiplatform system, with one or more schedulers, E-GEN easily integrates into your existing IT infrastructure. Your operations data is structured and archived in a centralized repository. The software can then generate any type of script, scheduler input, JCL or RFC document, completely eliminating the need for manual input. Because E-GEN guarantees all norms and standards, creating or modifying components needs to be done only once. The software then deploys components according to the existing lifecycle, effectively eliminating the need to adapt them to the specifics of a target environment.

Critical to the Success of DevOps

E-GEN eliminates many of the roadblocks preventing

successful, on-time releases. Because the tool allows your Development and Operations teams to have greater visibility into the status of a change, no time is wasted wondering who ordered it, or when it is scheduled to arrive. Norms and standards are automatically enforced, facilitating the transfer between environments. Teamwork is greatly improved, and releases happen faster.

Developed for the End User

Our solution features a straightforward interface easily used by everyone from system administrators to workgroups. Each user can personalize the way they view the system’s applications and components. The software automatically checks and validates all user input, meaning that even users with less technical experience can expertly execute releases, freeing up more experienced software engineers to complete more complicated tasks.
