Links that I have found interesting for October 7th:
- IBM Tivoli Expanded to Include Predictive Analytics – IBM Tivoli has announced new capabilities for its event management software designed to enable customers to predict potential events such as network outages, online trading transaction failures, cell phone service disruptions or retail point-of-sale downtime.
The IBM Tivoli offers new “predictive analytics” that take event management to the next level through trending and historical data to help customers be proactive instead of reactive when managing millions of potential events per day.
These predictive capabilities are now available in recently released versions of IBM Tivoli Monitoring, IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus and IBM Tivoli Network Manager. The new version of Tivoli Business Service Manager – available later this fall – will also feature these new capabilities.
*** Hmmm, something doesn't smell right here to me….***
- People Over Process » myCMDB Demo – You might remember Managed Objects myCMDB announcement from a little while ago. In my view, myCMDB is trying to provide a layer on-top of CMDBs (Managed Objects own, BMC’s, and “custom”) that pulls features from the consumer, Web 2.0 world. As you go through the overview and then demo, you can pull out that the main idea with myCMDB is to get people using the CMDB more. There are other things, of course, like reports a-plenty and activity streams.
- Aligning Business Process Management, Service-Oriented Architecture, and Lean Six Sigma for Real Business Results – This paper is intended to help companies that are leaders in their markets and are looking for new ways to differentiate themselves from their competitors. In this paper, we describe the key BPM, SOA, and LSS components, highlight the linkages between them, and summarize the results that leading firms have achieved. We outline the think big, start now steps that are needed to move your own initiative forward. In this paper, we also suggest ways to successfully avoid some of the barriers that have hampered others by focusing on the tools that deliver measurable results quickly.
