Case Study: George Mason University achieves faster, more efficient job processing with Broadcom Automic Automation

Automic® Earns High Honors for GMU Workload Automation

George Mason University (GMU), Virginia's largest four-year college, faced a significant challenge in managing manual, labor-intensive processes across its Registrar, Fiscal Services, and Financial Aid departments. Their Banner system lacked automated scheduling, requiring staff to perform time-consuming tasks like manually starting jobs and processing financial aid refunds. This created a heavy operational burden and risk of data integrity issues, leading them to seek a solution from Broadcom.

Broadcom implemented its Automic Automation solution to orchestrate GMU's complex batch processes. The platform provided calendar-based and event-driven automation, integrating seamlessly with Banner. This eliminated manual intervention, saved up to a man-hour per day, and allowed for reliable, automated processing across multiple semesters. The solution also improved output management and provided granular security controls, resulting in faster, more efficient operations and freeing up valuable staff resources.
