Control-M is workload automation (traditionally called batch scheduling) software obtained by BMC Software via its 1999 acquisition of New Dimension Software. It was originally written for mainframe computers, but is also available for distributed computing platforms including Unix, Windows, Linux and OpenVMS environments.

It is designed for automation of various functions in the enterprise including traditional IBM mainframe OS/MVS JCL, batch files, shell scripts as well as routine functions such as invoking database stored procedures, invoking and using Web services and handling file transfers inside and outside the organization.

Control-M can schedule workloads on a daily, weekly or monthly interval. It can also be used to respond to trigger events such as the appearance of a file, being called by a third party application through an API, or invocation on demand through Java or Web services.
