Case Study: Matlock Capital achieves streamlined, enterprise-wide batch job scheduling with JAMS

Matlock Capital Streamlines Batch Job Scheduling with JAMS

Matlock Capital, a Chicago-based proprietary trading firm specializing in automated equities and options market making, faced growing operational complexity from dozens of interdependent overnight IT processes needed for next-day trading. The firm needed to reduce manual intervention, consolidate platform-specific schedulers, and centrally monitor jobs across multiple operating systems and locations while maintaining robust alerting, reporting, ease of use, and a fast return on investment.

After evaluating several options, Matlock migrated its UNIX and Windows scheduling systems to JAMS. The straightforward setup quickly proved reliable, giving operators a single console to control and monitor jobs enterprise-wide, eliminating manual cross-system checks and significantly improving productivity, efficiency, and operational confidence.
