Overview

In today's business environment, being able to respond to changing market needs is a prerequisite to being competitive. However, the delivery of new products and services often drives up IT costs in the form of new applications, IT infrastructure, and support staff. As a result, companies have been forced to be more selective in their business pursuits, often forgoing projects that would have required changes to IT infrastructure. New on demand automation solutions from IBM help companies leverage their existing IT assets to become more agile and responsive to the business.

The IBM Tivoli® Intelligent Orchestrator product is a key element of IBM's on demand initiative and Tivoli IT service management software. Its capabilities span the customer's datacenter, helping improve availability and performance. When combined with IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager, datacenter operations' staff, as well as network and storage administrators can be more productive, and can make better decisions when managing their IT infrastructure. They will be able to create, customize, and store work flows which will enable them to make better decisions when managing their IT infrastructure.

IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager and IBM Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator help lower your costs and improve datacenter utilization through the use of advanced automation technologies.
