AutoMate™ versus simple job schedulers/macro programs.
Do not confuse AutoMate™ with the class of job scheduler/macro software products that have made their way into and out of the market. That assumption would not do any justice to the plethora of functions and features that make AutoMate™ much more than just another job scheduler.
AutoMate™ is the Automation Platform that provides much more that an easy way to schedule programs to run unattended - it takes that metaphor and improves on it by adding flexibility and benefits that empower users in a completely different manner than ever before. The difference between AutoMate™ and a run-of-the-mill scheduler can be explored by looking at the difference between the word "scheduling" and "automation." Scheduling is a time based firing of something. Automation is the act of automatically performing something, without one having to be there, either on a time/date based schedule or on various other dynamically trigger-based, either proactive or reactive, pseudo-schedules. Automation was, in a sense, the real reason why computers were invented – where the computer does all the redundant work for us allowing us to devote our time and energy in places that require true human interaction, ingenuity and creativity.
AutoMate™ provides user(s) with the power of automation, whether the task be something as simple as backing up important files on a weekly basis or something as complex as handling enterprise network system administration or responding to and acting according to various environmental changes in a group of systems.
