Getting to Business Value - Webcast on February 29th
Why are IT organizations becoming increasingly marginalized by business users when they're getting better and better at delivering quality service with technology for secure and reliable operations? 85%of what IT does is “keep the lights on” or 1 – 2 % of revenue annually.

Data Integrator - Using SQL Functions
Many of our customers leverage the Data Integrator adapter to pull in data from external databases. This adapter has the ability to connect with several databases such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Sybase, postgres, etc. The typical set up is to drag and drop tables and columns and build an integration on the fly with the Data Integrator IDE. One thing typically omitted is that the Data Integrator supports pretty much any SQL related function which can help you clean up the data, translate values to more obvious meaning, etc.

Using Visio Drawings in Operations Center
Several organizations leverage Visio to document their environment. They use Visio to show network schematics, large application deployments, even documenting the hardware in racks. With Novell Operations Center 5.0 we have made it even easier to bring in Visio drawings and lighting them up with elements being managed to show health and availability.
In the flash video attached to this blog, I recorded an example of bringing in a visio drawing and then linking elements to different things on the computer racks.

Rise of BSM 2.0 from the Fiery Failure of BSM Marketecture
What is Business Service Management simply and why does it appear to have waned in discussion and answer the question has it failed, is the concept required, what's new? Yes, the number one complaint in the market is still that IT does not understand the business, the level of frustration is rising and fuels the fire driving cloud computing and hosted services.
Business can buy easily, don't hear about operational processes, technology and why things don't work. They hear a service, price and value delivered. So what is BSM and why did it fail and why is it still the fuel driving the outsourced market.

Novell Operations Center 5.0 - The Eagle has Landed!
All development cycles/projects have code names until such a time a version number can be assigned to the release. This release was code named Eagle and thus the title! I must first say it has been a fast and furious year for the Novell Operations Center team filled with much change. Many thanks go out to the supporting cast of characters that delivered the product this year. The product has a fresh, clean look, a new name, improved quality and usability and many enhacements. As part of the updated brand a couple of integrations that are already available have never been called out on their own.
