Job Scheduling
IT can use job scheduling technologies to automate task execution using date-and-time scheduling or other approaches such as event-based triggers. Job scheduling software eliminates the need for manual kick-offs, saving time and allowing IT to focus on higher-value projects. Traditional work scheduling solutions were created to automate batch operations that ran on IBM and Oracle's homogenous mainframes. Today, native job schedulers are used to automate work for specific applications or platforms, carrying on the history (for example, Windows Task Scheduler). However, in recent decades, the number of diverse technologies and operating systems utilised by IT teams has increased, and many IT teams now manage complicated hybrid-cloud setups.
