Case Study: Julius Bär achieves centralized, real-time cross-platform job scheduling with Automic

An international, growing bank must have firm roots in standardized, flexible, real-time job scheduling

Bank Julius Baer Group, a Swiss private bank with recent acquisitions and operations across 40 locations worldwide, faced a growing IT orchestration challenge: its core IBM z/OS mainframe environment and a diverse distributed landscape (Sun Solaris, AIX, Linux, VMS, Windows) required synchronized, real-time job scheduling, standardized error handling and reusable, object-oriented processes—capabilities the bank’s legacy schedulers could not provide.

After evaluating vendors, the bank adopted Automic Workload Automation to consolidate CA Unicenter Autosys and TWS workloads, manage SimCorp Dimension and other applications, and automate file transfers and event-driven triggers. The centralized, object-oriented platform reduced manual checks, shortened job run times, delivered significant cost savings, improved compliance through automatic documentation, and provided scalable, high-availability scheduling across the enterprise.
