The Business Case for Flux
Why Flux?
Flux combines a Java Job Scheduler, Workflow, and an FTP (File Transfer) engine in one product. Flux allows you to leverage existing technology investments with a degree of efficiency, security, and control that you have not had before in automated processes. In short, Flux allows your Java developers to do more with what they already have. Further, Flux is a small fraction of the cost of enterprise software suites. Here’s a quick overview of what Flux does.
Java Job Scheduler
Many projects require the execution of certain jobs at regular time intervals or when certain events occur. Job scheduling allows for processes or batched events to be configured for immediate, deferred, or event driven execution. Flux contains vital features to make each of these easier.
Workflow
The workflow element of Flux graphically and logically represents all your business and systems processes and how they flow and interact with one another. You can easily define, manage, and rely upon your workflow to automatically run the various processes and steps that are the backbone to the smooth operation of your business function.
File Transfer
Flux allows you to safely exchange files internally across an enterprise, or externally share data with partners and customers via the Internet.
Flux is used by Java developers in a wide array of industries for vastly differing reasons. For example, Flux is used by one banking corporation to schedule and run various financial reports using Flux job scheduling APIs. Another bank leverages Flux to facilitate the processing of check images using Flux’s secure FTP and workflow components. In both instances, Flux was integrated with existing systems to improve performance and enable new functionality. Using this flexibility, Flux customers continue to come up with new and interesting applications. To see some examples, go to our solutions page.
Flux is designed to be customized by your Java development team to meet your specific needs without forcing you to accept unwanted or unneeded functionality included in larger software suites. This flexibility can significantly shorten your development cycle, allowing you to allocate resources to other critical needs.
The embeddable and modular nature of Flux means you can use our APIs to create custom solutions as new needs arise. Apply your company’s own brand and your own look and feel to interfaces to create a seamless familiar environment for end users.
Add Remote Execution of Processes
Flux Agents are powerful add-ons to Flux. Agents allow processes to be executed on remote computers to increase overall system throughput and to allow processes to run on computers that contain unique resources.
Pricing and Licensing
Flux software is very reasonably priced, with typical installations being a small fraction of enterprise suites. We offer a wide variety of purchasing options and licenses designed to meet your needs. Contact Flux Sales at +1 (406) 656-7398 or sales@fluxcorp.com for a quote.
