Quarterly Innovation, Enhanced Analytics, and a Smarter Jett

We’ve got exciting news to share: Control-M SaaS is now on a quarterly release cadence. That means faster innovation, smoother delivery, and no disruption — just fresh capabilities arriving like clockwork.

This October release is packed with updates that make it easier to get smarter answers from our GenAI advisor Jett, gain visibility, empower business users and expand orchestration within your SAP environment.

Let’s take a look at what’s new.

Meet the New Jett: Smarter, Faster, and More Helpful

Jett has always been your AI-powered sidekick for Control-M. Now, it’s even better — with upgrades that make it easier to get answers, solve problems, and stay productive.

Answers from Documentation — Instantly

Instead of searching through static docs, just ask Jett. Whether it’s “How do I set up monitoring and alerting rules?” or “What does the gray job status mean and how do I fix it?”, Jett pulls the right info from Control-M documentation and delivers it in seconds. You learn as you go — without breaking your flow.

Save Your Go-To Questions

Have queries you run all the time? Now you can bookmark them. Things like “Show me the total number of jobs that ran every day in the past week” or “Show me the most failing jobs today” are just a click away.

Getting Started Made Simple

If you’re new to Jett, onboarding is easier than ever. Start with sample questions like “How do I create a calendar?” and explore what Jett can do.

Sharper, More Accurate Responses

Jett now understands job types, execution timestamps, and more — so the answers you get are not just fast, but also clearer and more actionable.

Unlock Analytics and Empower Business Oversight

Control-M SaaS now makes it easier to extract and analyze workflow execution data — giving teams the insights they need to make smarter decisions.

Analytics Integration, Simplified

Workflow data is automatically extracted every few hours and delivered to AWS S3. From there, customers can access it via the Automation API and plug it into their analytics or observability tools of choice.

Business Services for Business Users

IT and Ops teams can now group related workflows into dynamic business services using filters or rules. These services can be monitored as a single unit — giving business users visibility and control, while reducing routine IT involvement.

Expanding Integrations

Control-M continues to grow its integration ecosystem through continuous delivery. This release adds support for SAP BTP, SAP’s strategic platform for AI, automation, and industry innovation — extending Control-M’s reach across enterprise environments.

Integrated data validation

Earlier this month, we introduced Control-M Data Assurance — a powerful new capability for self-hosted users. It combines data validation with orchestration, so you can embed checks directly into your workflows.

If a validation fails, execution stops, alerts are triggered, and bad data is blocked before it causes downstream issues. That means fewer SLA breaches, less rework, and lower risk — with trusted outcomes delivered on time.

What’s Next?

This release is just the beginning. With our new quarterly release cadence, Control-M SaaS customers can expect a steady stream of innovation — from new integrations and automation capabilities to smarter GenAI-driven experiences.

Stay tuned — the future of workflow orchestration is arriving faster than ever.
