At IBM PartnerWorld 2006

in Best Practices, General, IBM, Implementation, ITIL, ITSM, ITUP, Tivoli

I probably won’t have much time to post this week as I’m at PartnerWorld 2006 in Las Vegas. They had a great kick off session this morning and it left me with some good ideas to investigate further this week.

I hope to meet some of IBM Tivoli’s partners while I’m here and start to ask about how they view ITSM, ITIL, BSM, etc. from their perspectives and how they talk about it with their customers. We need to grow our partner network in this higher level ITSM, BSM, etc. areas.

We saw some of IBM’s new advertising campaign highlights that sparked some ideas around innovation and “What Makes You Special” that I want to think and write more about.

– Innovation for Profit and Results – Collaborative Innovation – What Makes You Special?

  • Collaborative Innovation: Being able to take the recommendations in ITUP 2.0 and have a solid and well grounded starting place to begin collaborating within your IT Operations organization about what may work or may not work for your environment
  • Innovating for Results: Recognizing results (cost control, quality improvement, etc.) in your IT Operations environment more quickly than starting with ITIL, CoBiT, eTOM recommendations alone when leveraging ITUP 2.0
  • What Makes You Special? – Leveraging an IT Operations best practices foundation based on years of industry experience and lessons learned using ITUP 2.0
