Case Study: Bayer in Italia achieves simplified IT management and faster job scheduling with Fortra Automate Schedule

Bayer in Italia Simplifies IT Management with Automate Schedule

Bayer in Italia’s 70‑person IT team supports 2,500 employees across four locations and manages 120 Windows production servers running data warehousing, CRM and local applications on MS SQL and Oracle. The group needed to ensure service continuity, reduce IT overhead, and replace an unfriendly, UNIX‑only scheduler that no longer fit their Windows‑centric environment and evolving workload of roughly 4,000 jobs.

They implemented Automate Schedule as a cross‑platform, user‑friendly job scheduler, migrating with minimal effort and reorganizing flows to streamline 500+ jobs. Automate’s monitoring, remote agent updates, and intuitive Job Flow Diagram and Schedule Activity Monitor features improved control, reduced maintenance time, sped up operations and increased end‑user satisfaction without losing any needed functionality.
