OpCon

Vendor management has been smooth, training has been well communicated and well received by end users.

Opcon is a very useful tool for automating and scheduling tasks. Even though the design seems a bit outdated, the functionalities are great such as creating tasks, restarting them, setting up the parameters and overall execution.

OpCon is an indispensable tool for job/file automation. It just works, and if it doesn't, support is always there to answer your questions, usually same day.

OpCon has been absolutely pivotal in automating almost any task we throw at it. It's ability create complex workflows and ability to reliably perform detailed tasks created a very large amount of time for our IT staff to perform other work. We have heavily leveraged it's ability to call batch scripts, access SFTP, monitor email accounts and perform specific actions based on a filtering of incoming emails to trigger events, fire SQL stored procedures, and automate the movement of files from one share to another. This is only a small list of the things that OpCon allows us to do, all unattended, on a reoccurring schedule of our choosing. As you can imagine, with a solution this capable, it can become quite confusing, and OpCon's support department is excellent in helping you implement your dream automation scenarios. If you can think it up, they will help try and find a way to make it happen. We have often requested additional functionality and, found it implemented only a few development cycles later. We also leverage their seamless ability to integrate into our core software platform, although due to the propriety of our vendor, they have few competitors in this area. That being said, OpCon performs more than admirably, and, is almost always not the cause of any issues that arise.

The Advance Training was great and the conference provided great insight into the future of SMA and additional short term updates.
