For most IT organizations, automation means groups of highly-skilled developers, who spend much of their time writing and maintaining scripts. This approach hinders agile development, leaves little time for innovation, and makes the organization vulnerable in a time where changing business conditions is the norm.
Largest Library of Automated Integrations
The ActiveBatch Integrated Jobs Library is a rich content library consisting of hundreds of production-ready Job Steps – out-of-the-box building blocks for commonly-scripted actions and functions – ready for assembly into IT and business workflows. This reduces the amount of time and effort developers would otherwise spend on research, designing, coding, and testing custom scripts. The Integrated Jobs Library contains proven integrations for a wide range of applications, databases, platforms, and more, facilitating the passing of data and management of dependencies between disparate technologies. Organizations can now more easily accommodate key business and IT processes within a common framework, enabling true end-to-end automation for the entire IT environment.
Additionally, the Job Steps are designed, tested, and maintained by ASCI, the makers of ActiveBatch, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the integrations. The developer can focus on the functions of the integrations rather than the coding behind them. Consequently, workflow development is simplified and innovation is fostered within the IT organization and, by extension, the broader enterprise.

ActiveBatch Service Library
ActiveBatch Integrated Jobs Library is augmented by the ActiveBatch Service Library, a dynamic framework that extends ActiveBatch’s integration capabilities with additional actions from other applications. The Service Library enables users to load and execute APIs (WSDLs and SOAP Web Services, RESTful services, .Net assemblies, stored procedures, and command lines) without the need for custom coding and turn them into reusable Job Steps within the Integrated Jobs Library.
Existing Script Libraries
The function of an workload automation solution is to simplify and enhance coding, not replace it. Most organizations have a significant investment in scripts that were written for specific products, applications, or services. ActiveBatch helps organizations protect their existing scripts with script vaulting and lifecycle management capabilities (like auditing and versioning) and provides a central library for all scripts. ActiveBatch is a script-language independent solution with support for all scripting languages.
