A top-6 bank in Ecuador takes control of its daily close with centralized batch orchestration

The bank's batch ran on a scheduling engine that was two decades old. Over the years, business logic had spread across standalone scripts, each with its own implicit dependencies and no single place to see what was running, what had finished and what had failed.

• Limited visibility: there was no consolidated view of close and reconciliation processes.
• Late failure detection: a failed job could go unnoticed until it affected another process or the business.
• Knowledge risk: operations relied on people who knew the legacy scripts by heart.
• Obsolescence: 20-year-old software limited integration with modern platforms and made maintenance more expensive.

Redsis implemented JAMS Scheduler, Fortra's workload automation platform, as the central orchestrator for the bank's batch. JAMS defines, runs and monitors processes across multiple platforms (servers, databases, ERPs and applications) from a centralized console, on premises or in the cloud.

The project moved logic that was scattered across scripts into workflows governed by the platform, with explicit dependencies between jobs, time- or event-based triggers and automatic notifications. Operational knowledge no longer lives in a few people's heads; it is documented in the tool itself.

JAMS capabilities the bank relies on

• Single console to monitor every job in the environment.
• Dependencies and triggers so each process runs only after its predecessor has completed successfully.
• Proactive alerts by email or other channels when a job fails or runs late.
• Relational dependency view to see at a glance which upstream and downstream processes are affected.
• High availability with failover so orchestration never stops.
• Execution history for audit and incident analysis.

With more than 25 years delivering infrastructure and software to Latin American banks, Redsis pairs mission-critical platform expertise with an automation and integration portfolio that includes Fortra solutions such as JAMS and GoAnywhere MFT. Our approach covers the full cycle: assessment of the existing batch, workflow design, migration, validation and support.
