We have implemented the solution with an in-house team.

ActiveBatch has been implemented in-house.

We did the implementation via an in-house team.

We handled the setup in-house.

We deployed the solution with the help of an expert.

We did the installation ourselves. It was done by our systems department. One of my coworkers did all the work. She installed the new system and exported everything out of the old version into the new one. On top of that, we broke one system into two, because we used to have our model and production on one server. In the course of upgrading to version 12, we put our test and production systems on different servers.

We handled the implementation with an in-house team.

The good part was that we really didn't have to do the install because we ended up getting a proof of concept setup with one of their engineers. So, we didn't have to do the initial setup ourselves, but we did build two other environments: one in our test environment and one in our development environment. Based on the fact that we walked through it the first time with the proof of concept, I was able to go back and reproduce every step that they walked us through on day one to build out the test and dev environments.

I installed it. To install it and get the environment up and running, it takes less than a day. Once my database is up and I have access to install the software, it takes an hour or two for me to get it up and running.

We implemented the solution via our in-house team.

We implemented ActiveBatch on our own, but we did work closely with the provider of our new policy administration system and learning how the two products would work together for batch processing. I have worked very closely with someone there to tie in with ActiveBatch. I don't believe he had experience with ActiveBatch prior to that, but one of his coworkers did and he called on that coworker from time to time. We mostly worked on using ActiveBatch to call those external processes through the scripts that were provided to us. That's where we had to get them involved because that was also a new product to us, and it still is. So we were trying to learn how that product worked, how ActiveBatch worked, and how to get them to work together.

For ActiveBatch there were five or six people within Operations/Infrastructure involved in the deployment. We're a small-to-midsize company with a couple of hundred employees.

We handled the setup in-house.

This was implemented through an in-house deployment, and I would rate the process eight out of ten. The level of expertise was high.

Our deployment for ActiveBatch Workload Automation was done in-house.

We had an in-house team for the implementation. I would rate them eight out of ten.

The setup and maintenance are done in-house. We have overnight support group from India and they manage the nightly processes using ActiveBatch.

We contracted with ActiveBatch to help move us from version 9 to 10. It took us two or three times to get it right because there were components that ActiveBatch wasn't clear on about needing to be installed. They finally came back and helped us on this because we had an engagement contract with them. However, it took a couple of times to do this. The problem in a production environment is you don't have a lot of leeway for downtime. The jobs that we have, they run 24/7/365. Trying to find an open slot to do migrations is pretty difficult.
