Tivoli TTUC 2007 Blog

by doug on May 17, 2007

Looks like our execs started a blog during the TTUC conference last week with the intentions of getting our valued clients involved in the converstation on how Tivoli can improve.

I hope this stays alive and can serve as a viable way to dialogue directly with those who make things happen here. This could be the perfect forum for our “tools group” heros who are a few layers removed from dealing with management and IBM Tivoli routinely to share their stories from the deckplates of their organization.

Not much here yet, but all it takes is someone to jump in!
