Modernize Automic to EnterpriseSCHEDULE (ISE)
Modernize Automic to EnterpriseSCHEDULE (ISE)
Modernization approach
ABCloudz helps institutions modernize integrations by transitioning from legacy point-to-point connections to Ellucian’s Ethos and Data Connect. Our two-phased approach includes integration assessment, solution design, seamless migration, and post-deployment support, ensuring secure, scalable, and API-driven interoperability in SaaS.
Phase 1: Migration solution design
In this phase, we analyze your Automic scheduling environment, identify custom job configurations, and create a Migration Solution Document that captures every step of your migration journey to ensure a smooth transition to ISE.
Customization and workflow analysis
Identifying custom job dependencies, parameter sets, automation scripts, and scheduled tasks to ensure accurate migration to ISE.
Integration mapping
Documenting file transfers, Banner batch jobs, external system integrations, and API-based workflows for seamless transition.
Security and compliance assessment
Ensuring role-based access control, scheduling governance, and alignment with institutional security policies. We also assess existing access models, audit automation permissions, and define secure execution boundaries within ISE to meet FERPA, institutional, and SaaS compliance standards.
Migration roadmap development
Developing a detailed solution document outlining how scheduling workflows, dependencies, and business-critical jobs will be adapted within ISE. This includes aligning with the Customer Architecture Reference Model (CARM) to map institutional workflows to standard SaaS implementations.
Phase 2: Implementation
This phase focuses on executing the migration, ensuring automation integrity, operational continuity, and fully enabling ISE-powered job scheduling.
Workflow adaptation and optimization
Migrating custom job logic, automation scripts, and dependencies into ISE’s built-in scheduling framework.
Integration modernization
Aligning file transfers, Banner batch jobs, and API-based triggers with ISE’s event-driven scheduling architecture.
Data migration and validation
Ensuring accurate job execution, parameter handling, and dependency management within the new environment.
Testing and performance tuning
Validating job execution consistency, system responsiveness, and failover mechanisms through rigorous testing.
Deployment and go-live execution
Ensuring a seamless transition, with rollback strategies, final validation, scheduling configuration, and operational readiness before go-live.
Training and post-migration support
Providing documentation, training for IT teams and administrators, and best practices for ongoing workflow management.
We are world champions in migrations!
The ABCloudz team has been doing all kinds of migrations for 20+ years, including various sources/targets, preserving architecture, and performing application modernization, custom and packaged applications, and transactional and analytical workloads, getting involved with 200+ workloads annually.
We are big believers in automate the automatable — the best proof of competency and quality. A unique fact about us is the convert between SQL dialects technology, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2005 (SSMA) and by AWS with the acquisition of DB Best in 2021 (AWS SCT).

12 steps migration and modernization methodology
How much will it cost and how long will it take?
These are the first questions institutions ask when considering migration to Ellucian EnterpriseSCHEDULE (ISE). The cost and timeline of your migration depend on the number of jobs, dependencies, integrations, and business rules embedded in your Automic environment.
That’s why we don’t believe in guesswork. At ABCloudz, we follow a proven 12-step migration methodology that starts with a comprehensive discovery phase.
In this first step, our team thoroughly analyzes your existing Automic job scheduling environment, identifying all custom workflows, automation scripts, job dependencies, and third-party integrations.
The outcome? A detailed modernization roadmap — a solution design document that outlines every step of your modernization journey. This includes:
with a detailed breakdown of required tasks.
in person-hours for each phase of the modernization.
based on the scope of work.
