Case Study: Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc. achieves real-time, event-driven automation with JAMS

Real Time and Event Driven Automation

Seminole Electric Cooperative provides power to nine member cooperatives across Florida and supports generation for 1.6 million people. As the utility moved from mainframe to distributed processing, its legacy scheduler (Control‑M) proved costly and poorly aligned with business needs. Seminole relied on frequent “interval” polling jobs that made users wait—sometimes up to an hour—for prerequisite files or batch processes (such as Dynamics AX jobs) to complete, creating failures and time-consuming weekend re‑runs.

Seminole replaced Control‑M with JAMS, shifting from time‑based polling to event‑driven triggers and custom execution methods. Nearly 200 Control‑M jobs were migrated; JAMS now runs about 2,000 jobs daily across 200–300 definitions, using file and database triggers, dependencies, alerts and detailed job histories. The result: real‑time delivery of reports and data, fewer scheduling conflicts and failures, better developer visibility, elimination of a full‑time schedule operator, and faster, more reliable business processes.
