Globalize your On Demand Business

Tivoli® software: IT management software enabling globalization capabilities.
Tivoli software advantage

Radically improving the efficiency of your global business is about becoming an on demand business, and Tivoli software from IBM is prepared to help you get there today -- with software products for security, storage and systems management.

As your business transitions from just having web sites, to conducting e-business transactions, its reach goes well beyond the traditional boundaries of city or country or even continent. When you conduct e-business on the web you see the world.

Organizations that already operate globally, with IT resources scattered across the world, have turned to managing these IT resources "with the sun" by distributing their resources to two or three centers of expertise across the globe. One of the issues encountered with this approach is the fact that in many cases, these systems, servers and workstations are configured and maintained with local language support.

IBM Tivoli intelligent management software solutions are constructed with this in mind, and provide the capability to manage these distributed resources from different language systems. For example, a person in Japan would see a message about a server failure locally in Japan, in Japanese (a double byte language) while at the same instant a user in Germany, would see the same Japan server error information in German (a single byte language). These capabilities support the management of any IT resource from any global location, using many languages. In today's growing on demand world, Tivoli provides management of these distributed IT resources from a global perspective, allowing businesses to deploy their support staff where it's most appropriate, efficient and cost effective.

Tivoli software offers a delegation model that provides a major value proposition for IT departments. Examples include:
