New Dimension Software has announced the certification of Control-M Option for Baan by the Baan Company Certified Applications Provider Program (BaanCAPPS).
The Control-M Option for Baan allows the company`s Control-M production control and job scheduling solution to support Baan IV applications, performs as an integrated part of Baan IV and adheres to all technical standards.
Control-M has also been certified to support and interoperate with SAP R/3.
"We are seeing increasing demand for robust systems management solutions as organisations implement ERP applications, such as Baan IV, in complex, distributed environments," says Allen Lewis, MD of Software Futures Systems Management, local distributor for New Dimension Software. "The holistic scheduling of jobs in the ERP world is key to the success of ERP implementations. This is the role Control-M plays."
Control-M Option for Baan ensures a tight connection between New Dimension`s systems management solutions, Baan IV applications, other business applications and legacy systems across multiple platforms. The certified module integrates existing Control-M managed systems and independent job scheduling with Baan IV processing, allowing production control personnel to analyse events and problems in a timely and efficient manner. With the Control-M interface, Baan IV jobs are managed in the same way as other processes in the enterprise.
For example, tight integration with the Control-M job scheduler and the Enterprise Controlstation allows Baan IV alerts and system or network errors to be correlated with production control. It provides IT personnel with the capability to manage Baan IV jobs as if they were regular batch jobs. Control-M`s management-by-exception capabilities guarantee early notification of exception situations, which is crucial for maintaining the workflow and meeting deadlines for Baan IV applications. With the Enterprise Controlstation end users can view and access any problematic task throughout the enterprise, perform analysis and apply the necessary resolution from one central point.
As part of New Dimension Software`s Enterprise Production Management solution set, Control-M and the Enterprise Controlstation provide a consolidated view of the enterprise by also interfacing to other systems management solutions such as BMC`s PATROL, TivoliTME, CA-Unicenter TNG and HPOpenView/ITO.
