We’re proud to share that for the eight consecutive time BMC has been named the overall highest performer and a Value Leader in the 2025 EMA Radar for Workload Automation and Orchestration. Control-M also earned EMA’s recognition for Excellence in Mission-Critical Orchestration, reinforcing its position as the market leader for enterprise-class orchestration.

Control-M: Leading Enterprise Orchestration

EMA’s report highlights Control-M’s unmatched maturity, scalability, and innovation cadence. With a modern, API-first architecture and feature parity across SaaS and on-premises deployments, Control-M empowers organizations to orchestrate data pipelines, applications, and infrastructure with confidence and control.

Key Differentiators Called Out by EMA

  • Mission-Critical Orchestration: Control-M leads in managing complex, infrastructure-intensive business processes with precision and reliability.
  • Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Reach: Native integrations with AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes enable seamless orchestration across environments.
  • Data Pipeline and DataOps Leadership: Deep integrations with Snowflake, Databricks, Apache Airflow, and more make Control-M a cornerstone for modern data operations.
  • DevOps and Jobs-as-Code: Developers can define, test, and promote workflows using JSON or Python, embedding orchestration directly into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Observability and AI: Embedded SLA clocks, anomaly detection, and Jett—Control-M’s fully integrated GenAI copilot—bring closed-loop intelligence to orchestration. Jett supports workflow optimization, SLA prediction, and real-time guidance, making AI a foundational part of the platform experience.

A Vision for the Future: Orchestrator of Orchestrators

EMA recognized BMC’s forward-looking strategy to position Control-M as the “orchestrator of orchestrators”—a unifying layer that spans ERP systems, DevOps pipelines, service management tools, and AI platforms. This vision is already taking shape through expanded integrations, enhanced Workflow Insights and GenAI powered Advisors.

Control-M SaaS continues to gain momentum, offering global reach, hybrid visibility, and enterprise-grade resilience. With a single console view across SaaS and on-premises environments, organizations can modernize at their own pace without compromising governance or control.

Strategic Value Drivers

Our strategy in the Workload Automation and Orchestration market rests on a few key principles:

  • Delivering end-to-end orchestration of AI, Data and Application workflows across hybrid environments—from multi-cloud to mainframe.
  • With the GenAI-powered advisor Jett already in place, we’re advancing toward an agentic orchestration model, enabling a fleet of specialized AI agents to dynamically build, execute, and manage end-to-end workflows.
  • Providing flexible deployment options, whether SaaS or self-hosted, with a Unified View that ensures consistency, governance, and control

These principles define how Control-M helps enterprises turn operational complexity into competitive advantage, operate with resilience, and scale innovation confidently into the future.
