Why IBM Tivoli

IBM Tivoli has made great investments in its security portfolio throughout the years. It refocused, researched market trends, and conducted extensive client interviews. In addition, IBM has participated in and contributed to many existing and emerging industry technology standards.

These efforts have resulted in a number of strategic acquisitions, IBM research/development initiatives, and client advisory councils. These results and investments have enabled IBM to deliver to market a tightly integrated yet modular technology stack provides the flexibility to choose your initial focus yet deliver an end-to-end architecture and roadmap for success. This approach to solving complex issues around user lifecycle management has been critical in helping IBM Tivoli clients achieve:

• Regulatory compliance
• Reduction in development and administrative cost
• Centralized security policy management
• Risk mitigation
• Revenue growth
  

Furthermore, Tivoli is an integral component of the IBM IT Service Management (ITSM) strategy. This new approach brings a better way to manage the business of IT. The goal is to help you manage your IT infrastructure more effectively and efficiently and reduce complexity by leveraging ITIL best practices.

IT Service Management solutions translate IT processes into manageable tasks and then automate integration. As a result, you no longer manually design IT processes individually within specific silos of operation, and then hand-code integration across different departments. Instead, you can design IT processes once and automate integration across all areas of operation, fostering savings in time and money.

IT Service Management benefits include:

• Ability to deliver IT services more effectively and efficiently – aligned with business priorities
• Quantifiable process performance – end-to-end process measurements and quantification
• Ability to extract greater value of existing investments – tighter integration across technology, information, and people
• Increase in IT organizational productivity – integration of IT silos through data and workflow
