Case Study: Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) cuts job-scheduling management time by 65% and costs by 67% with Stonebranch’s Universal Agent

Computer Siences Corporation Reduces Management Time for Job Scheduling Environment by 65 Percent

CSC, a global consulting, systems integration and outsourcing company, faced a complicated legacy job scheduling system that caused mainframe errors, lengthy daily scheduling planning, time-consuming agent rollouts and rising costs and customer-impacting outages. To address these issues, CSC engaged Stonebranch and evaluated its Universal Agent independent scheduling agents.

Stonebranch implemented Universal Agent across key servers (initial installs took about 20 minutes) and rapidly expanded to Windows, UNIX and SAP environments without disrupting operations. Stonebranch’s solution delivered measurable benefits: a 65% reduction in job scheduling management time, a 67% reduction in scheduling solution costs, elimination of platform/server issues, and dramatic day-to-day time savings (CSC reports reducing workload management from ~75% of daily time to ~10%).
