BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer Implementation Team

MF
Senior System Specialist at a recruiting/HR firm with 201-500 employees

I have done a lot of installations over the years. I have sometimes been the third-party consultant who comes to companies to do the installation.

I believe you can do it in-house these days. The last one I did was in-house, but if you didn't have a lot of experience, you might want to find some specialized company to do it for you. 

There are specialist partners who will do this for you, but I believe you should do it yourself because you will have control and will know what to do if someone comes in and asks you how is this configured. You will know because you will be the one who configured it.

We currently have about four people in the team who are responsible for Control-M. It's complicated because one of the guys is retiring, and I'm not sure if he'll be replaced. People looking after, I'd say four is a good number for a Control-M server. There are various components to it, such as Unix administration and database administration. Obviously, we have other people who are specialists in their fields to whom we could go and notify them that something has happened; and ask them to have a look. or to log in to check. 

Four people would be the minimum number of people who would be responsible for a server.

We did it ourselves. We had it done on a Saturday, and it was rocking and rolling that Saturday evening.

We implement the solution for customers. An on-premises implementation can be completed in one day or faster depending on the customer's infrastructure. Agent deployments are what take time. 

We install the agent on one to five packets, prepare the SOP, share it with the customer, and ask them to install it. If the customer has an existing automation tool for deploying software, then we give them the bundle. If we are providing the BMC solution, then we create a package for the agent and deploy for the customer.
