20 Years and Still Not at Service Level Nirvana
Why aren’t we at Service Level Agreement (SLA) nirvana? I mean really, we have had SLA tools for 10, 15 years or more. You probably have 1 or 10 or more tools that measure SLAs, of which most probably aren’t used. Why aren’t all of our data centers, applications, servers and everything else just numbers on some dashboard that we just glance at to make sure everything is good to go and that we are open for business?

Novell Identity Manager Certification Now Available
Earlier this month Novell Training Services launched a new certification, for administrators of Novell Identity Manager 4. It's called the Certified Novell Identity Manager Administrator, or CNIMA.
The ideal certification is not about book learning--it's about giving a person a chance to prove they can do a job. The CNIMA was created with that ideal in mind.

Another New IDM 4 Training Course
Course 3110 is the culmination of a huge effort to provide training that will help a Novell Identity Manager administrator manage and maintain an IDM 4 implementation. Our main goal with this curriculum was to make it possible for the administrator to keep IDM 4 running smoothly in their enterprise, after the consultants leave.

Business Service Management Tool Buyers Check List
Business service management is a practice many organizations try to achieve with many IT management tools. There are many tools that contribute to a successful practice, but it is the integration platform that stitches it all together to make sense of it in real time.

Top 10 Business Service Management Guiding Principles
What is a simple explanation of what Business Service Management (BSM) is and does – let’s take the BS out of the speak. I simply describe it as the ability for IT to communicate service performance (value) aligned with business objectives, while maintaining control over the infrastructure.
