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.

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?

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. Quite simply put, a good business service management practice enables you to communicate service performance while maintaining control over the environment.

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.
