Hi yes,  we are using a product for job scheduling called EXpress... (it has
more features than Maestro)

We've found that Express is a full featured job scheduling and workload
management solution that offered us a single point of control for all our
supported environments on our networks.  If runs our data center 24 hours
per day controlling our production schedules automatically... we found that
it builds on and extends the functionality of our standard system batch
processing facilitites.

In addition we get a sngle point of control, seamless integration, a
customizable calendar, queue management and auditing security.

If any of you are intereested in knowing mroe about this system or you also
have a need for Change Management, feel free to email me or call me at
650-475-4652.. I'd be happy to share our experiences with you all.. the
software has worked miracles for us

we're getting close to going into production with control-m.  we've
experimented
with it extensively but until we put it on out big box (995) we'll really
not
know how it performs or how stable it is.              - d
