Business Application Management

Ensure availability and performance of your applications

IBM Tivoli Business Application Management (BAM) products help ensure the availability and performance of your business-critical applications, including portal and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based technologies.

Target IT issues which impact your business

Business Application Management products allow you to visualize the health of your business services and service level agreements. You can then isolate, diagnose and fix the highest-priority transaction performance problems. Target IT resources and actions to quickly resolve the most critical and costly issues which have the greatest impact on your business. IT lifecycle costs can be reduced across operations, support and development by directly linking operations and development.
Tivoli Business Application Management products can also help you plan, manage and optimize your software assets. These products help you manage software costs and contract compliance, and align software spending with business priorities.

Quickly isolate, diagnose and fix performance problems

Your business processes typically depend on a number of complex applications. These composite applications use business logic and data that span Web servers, J2EE application servers, integration middleware and mainframe systems. Many organizations lack an integrated solution to automatically monitor, analyze and resolve problems at the service, transaction, application and resource levels. The result? Operations and development may take a long time to identify, isolate and fix composite application problems. In fact, many application problems are reported to IT by the end users of the business service.

Facilitate the information flow between Operations, Development and Support

The Tivoli Business Application Management solution helps you quickly isolate, diagnose and fix business-critical application performance problems. When an incident occurs, the Tivoli solution helps the IT staff quickly resolve it by facilitating the information flow between the Operations, Development and Support groups. A powerful visualization of problem information is available using a single portal, with customizable views of performance metrics. The Tivoli solution can help you meet your internal and external service level agreements and reduce your total cost of ownership.
