Featuring: Thomas Mendel of Forrester Research
Before the pixels are dry on this email, Novell will have finalized its acquisition of market-leading Business Service Management (BSM) vendor Managed Objects, undoubtedly bringing with it profound changes to the IT management landscape. For this reason, Novell would like to invite you to come listen to Thomas Mendel from Forrester Research and Alan Murray, VP of System and Resource Management from Novell discuss how this merger will affect the overall IT management landscape and more importantly, what this means for you, the IT management consumer.
In his recent research report, Thomas points out that "conversations with clients indicate that IT ops decision-makers are looking for alternatives in [BSM]. ...There is significant opportunity for Novell to become a serious player in IT management software." *
With its leading Data Center Automation strengths around virtualization and workload management—Novell now adds essential BSM technology that integrates existing silo'd IT tools into a central real-time single-pane-of-glass solution offering customers a modular vendor-neutral BSM alternative that complements any existing IT management investment.
Whether you're in the middle of a BSM project, or whether, you're just starting out, you'll want to watch this valuable webcast!
