Case Study: ESCO Advisors achieves days-to-hours client onboarding and streamlined batch automation with JAMS

ESCO Advisors - Customer Case Study

ESCO Advisors provides retail energy suppliers with mission-critical data and analytics — including risk management, demand forecasting and BI-ready archives — drawn from multiple utilities and ISOs across the U.S. Rapid client growth exposed limits in their existing automation (SQL Server Agent and Windows Task Scheduler): onboarding new clients could take days and multiple IT staff, overnight ETL and high-volume FTP workflows were brittle, and troubleshooting failures required time-consuming log reviews.

ESCO Advisors deployed JAMS Job Scheduler, converting stored procedures, creating parameterized “base jobs” (connection strings, FTP locations, paths, etc.) and centralizing monitoring so failures show root causes. Onboarding time dropped from days to hours, the development team is no longer tied up in IT administration, and detailed notifications for 700+ daily jobs speed resolution — positioning the company to scale efficiently.
