We kicked off the new and improved Atlanta Tivoli User Group last week with a special focus on the IBM ITSM strategy and technical solutions. This group meeting also included the former Micromuse customers in a new setting for them where they have a voice into the Tivoli organization.
Dan Tabor, Product Manager for Tivoli ABSM and Vinu Sundaresian, Office of CTO were our special guests. Dan gave an overview of the roadmap and launch plans in the BSM suite (RAD 3.0 launch in mid-year, TBSM/RAD merge, TSLA, etc.) and Vinu gave a great overview of the ITSM strategy including the CCMDB, Process Managers and a demo of TADDM 4.1.
I recall many “heated” debates with Vinu when I was at EarthLink and he was at Collation over application discovery technologies, approaches and solutions. It’s great to be on the same team now working towards a very unique solution in our CCMDB.
I encourge IBM Tivoli customers (and former Micromuse customers) to get involved in a local/regional Tivoli User group wherever they can. For more information, visit here.
