Vendor Independence

Universal Agent protects your existing automation technology investments, allowing you to pursue a ‘best of breed’ approach for your individual automation needs. Being vendor-independent, Universal Agent can be used by any automation engine or product and is available for all systems or platforms where automation processes need to be executed. Coming from classical batch processing – also referred to as scheduling or workload automation – Universal Agent can execute and control any kind of automation process on any remote system. Simple open-application interfaces allow any automation engine to easily connect to the Universal Agent infrastructure and to execute any process while gaining full control.

Platform Independence

The Universal Agent Technology is available for all standard platforms, from Mainframe to Windows, Unix, Linux and many others. It allows clients to integrate process steps on different platforms into one single technology with no need for cumbersome manual interference.

Secure

Whether used for on-premise, public-, private-, or hybrid cloud environments, or any combination thereof, the Universal Agent has proven to be robust and secure, satisfying all the requirements of today's enterprises. Universal Agent provides a secure software platform for every automation need via TCP/IP based TLS 1.2 communication over certificate-based authentication, using encrypted communication data channels using LDAP/AD. Every step of the process is then verified by running several penetration tests.

Integrated Data Supply Chain

Integrated Universal Data Mover component, a sub-component of Universal Agent, allows clients to fully integrate their enterprise-wide data supply chain into this layer of process orchestration. The UDM monitors for key data to arrive, and then transfers that data between different platforms and storage technology using event-driven process triggers. Everything is therefore seamlessly and effortlessly integrated into the business process.

Easy Maintenance and Installation

As a single installation package, Universal Agent provides massively reduced administration and maintenance overhead in comparison to multiple independent solutions. Universal Automation Architecture also offers easy installation and maintenance. Once installed, activating and deactivating available functionalities is as easy as the click of a button.
