These are my links for May 15th through May 20th:
- FireScope CMDB Action Plan Builder – While a Configuration Management Database offers a wide range of cost cutting opportunities for businesses, lack of planning can doom the project to failure before it ever begins. The FireScope CMDB Action Plan Builder is designed to help you get started in planning your CMDB deployment, and to aid you in getting the most value out of your CMDB deployment. At the end of this wizard, you will receive an email with a customized power point deck and project introduction emails that outline the critical steps in deploying your CMDB.
- FireScope Business Case Builder – The FireScope Business Case Builder is designed to help you communicate the financial and business value of implementing FireScope BSM within your organization. Simply complete the four sections below to describe your current IT Operations environment and challenges, and this website will generate a powerpoint presentation that you can use to champion cutting costs and improving efficiency for your organization.
- The business service management imperative – BSM is not ‘yet another something to manage’ – it’s the right way of managing – so to be effective, BSM should itself deliver sustainably, and on a continuous basis.
- IBM Tivoli TADDM Sensor Day Results – On behalf of the IBM TADDM team, I'd like to thank you for the great response to the first ever TADDM Community Sensor Day to help grow our TADDM community! We had lots of folks interested in sensor day because you helped us spread the news of the event pretty far.
While we had lots of interest, we were only able to work with a handful of clients to build a sensor with us on the first sensor day. We also collaborated with some internal IBM teams. The list of sensors produced include: Informix, Managed Objects, Rational Team Concert server, Microsoft Office SharePoint server, and TADDM.
As the sensors complete certification, they will be published on the TADDM exchange site. The first two sensors, Rational Team Concert and Microsoft Office SharePoint server, are available today at http://tinyurl.com/d8yb3f.
Stay tuned for future sensor day event announcements and training!
