Redwood's reliable processes and advanced migration tools make for a smooth transition from existing workload automation tools and job schedulers to RunMyJobs. Our proven migration approach is designed to mitigate risks, drive efficiency and our dedicated migration team will work closely with your team through every stage.
Step 1:
Configuration
We assign a dedicated team, conduct a thorough analysis of your existing processes, and identify a phased migration plan that starts with your organization's low-risk processes, allowing your teams to gain confidence in the migration process.

Step 2:
Data Import
We start with a non-production environment to safely import and test your existing workload automations by using proprietary Mercury conversion tools to efficiently copy over your workload automations and give your teams hands-on experience.

Step 3:
Test & Go Live
We verified all processes with acceptance testing and QA testing. Once it's approved, we will move individual process automations into production. We deliver results by using our agreed-upon phasing plan and go-live checklist.

Systematic production phasing ensures smooth operations
Redwood's migration program provides a safe route for organizations that want an alternative to any job scheduling or workload automation tool available. For nearly three decades, we’ve successfully moved customers from BMC, Broadcom/CA, IBM, Tidal, AutoSys, Stonebranch, and more.
We can provide a roadmap for your automation in the digital era with unrivaled support that our customers consistently praise.
As the UK's leading hotel company operating more than 700 hotels, our business never stops. We quickly migrated to Redwood, automating 1.3 million business-critical file transfers a month. We never miss a single transaction.
Billing, meter-to-cash, regulatory requirements — these are a few examples of the day-to-day business processes that utility companies must carefully manage. Then there’s the bigger objectives that require more time and focus — like driving business outcomes and ensuring a positive customer experience. It can be hard to find the time, especially when it’s imperative that all daily financial matters run smoothly.
Handling billing and compliance operations as efficiently and accurately as possible has led many utility companies around the world to implement RunMyJobs by Redwood Software.
At Redwood Software, our focus is full stack automation.
What does that mean?
We help companies automate their mission-critical business processes end-to-end across the entire organization and infrastructure, including all applications.
When talking about automating IT and business processes, particularly repetitive and time-consuming tasks, two terms are commonly used: robotic process automation (RPA) and workload automation (WLA). Both make workflows more efficient and reduce errors. Both lower overhead costs. Both support scalability. And sometimes, both technologies can be used together,
Consolidating WLA solutions and job schedulers into one vendor increases efficiency, improves employee satisfaction and deepens vendor partnership. Before you kick off your WLA consolidation process, you should know the key factors that lead to a successful consolidation and how to call them into play using Redwood’s 3-step migration process for RunMyJobs.
Why Migrating Your Automated Jobs To Another Platform Can Be Stressful
An operational WLA platform is responsible for automating several business-critical processes. That means any disruption to its operations will have an adverse impact not only on your business but also potentially on your trading partners and other organizations that are dependent on those processes.
BMC Control-M can be integrated with various tools and technologies to support end-to-end automation of batch processing and job scheduling operations. Some examples include:
Cloud platforms: Control-M can be integrated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, enabling organizations to achieve smooth orchestration across cloud-native tools and manage and schedule batch processing operations in a cloud-based environment.
Databases: Control-M can be integrated with Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2 to extract and process data for batch processing operations.
Mainframe systems: Control-M can be integrated with mainframe systems such as IBM z/OS and UNIX/Linux systems to support batch processing operations in mixed environments.
DevOps tools: Control-M can be integrated with DevOps tools such as Hadoop, Docker, Jenkins, Java, JSON, Git, Python, and Ansible to support continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows for batch processing applications.
Business Intelligence and Analytics tools: Control-M can be integrated with BI and analytics tools such as Tableau, PowerBI, and SAS to enable organizations to extract and analyze batch-processing data and generate actionable insights.
These are just a few examples of the many different tools and technologies that can be integrated with BMC Control-M to support end-to-end automation of batch processing and job scheduling operations.
Yes. For example, Redwood’s SaaS architecture eliminates the overhead of infrastructure and ongoing maintenance of the workload automation platform. Redwood also includes all features with unlimited connections to applications, services, and servers without licensing additional plugins. With Redwood’s simple pricing model, you only pay for the jobs you run, gaining enterprise-grade flexibility and scalability to help you grow. Explore why Redwood’s unified cloud platform lowers ownership costs.
Why should I consider BMC Control-M alternatives?
There are several reasons organizations may be looking at BMC Control-M alternatives, including the age of the tool, cost and complexity. Control-M is older, which makes it much less flexible end-to-end.
Also, the infrastructure is complex. For example, if an upgrade is needed, BMC Control-M often requires teams of people, multiple notifications, and dedicated downtime.
It is also expensive and can be error-prone. So, there is a chance that the optimizations you have made do not work. With BMC Control-M being based on a schedule, all IT processes need to be pre-scheduled in a sequence, which means you end up with longer processes allowing for buffer time. And the system must be shut down every day to predict the next day’s schedule, which means you are not really responding to things in real-time.
Lastly, scalability is challenging for BMC Control-M as you grow, despite cloud-based technology changing over the last 20 years. Change management has not evolved, unlike Redwood, so it feels like you are continuously “bolting on stuff to your car” instead of innovating past legacy capabilities. You can do it, but it will not work the way it optimally should as there are a lot of dependencies.
BMC’s Control-M solution is based on an architecture that is not well-suited to the needs of a modern enterprise. It requires a large installation footprint that is burdensome and time-consuming to update when security patches are needed. It has high operational and administrative costs as a result. A solution that performs more automation through agentless APIs and offers updates that upgrade every element simultaneously in minutes is significantly easier to run. See how Redwood’s SaaS delivery allows IT organizations to focus on automation not administration.
