A Automic Case Study
Société Générale Bank & Trust (SGBT), a leading bank in Luxembourg, faced growing complexity in managing its IT-driven business processes: a Siemens BS2000 mainframe plus ~20 Unix and 40 Windows servers, numerous third‑party applications with weak APIs, and heavy reliance on specialists to manually control hundreds of jobs. The bank needed a platform‑independent scheduler to centralize control, automate time‑ and event‑dependent processes, improve reporting and documentation, and reduce manual effort while meeting SLAs.
SGBT selected Automic Workload Automation to provide a single point of control, cross‑platform scheduling, step‑level restart/recovery, file‑availability checks and high‑availability failover. The platform now automates about 1,500 recurring jobs (≈1,000 daily), delivers comprehensive run documentation and reporting, speeds processing through event‑based execution, reduces incidents and manual work, and freed operations staff to focus on service quality while meeting agreed SLAs.
