Optimize your Endpoint Management: IBM Tivoli and the Accelerated Value Program

One of the great strengths of IBM Tivoli solutions is the way they deliver not just exceptional value, but many different kinds of value.

IBM Endpoint Manager. This offering includes far more than simple remote configuration capabilities; it is nothing less than a reinvention of the whole concept of endpoint management. Once deployed, it can handle virtually all endpoint-related tasks, ranging from reconfiguration to patch management to security evaluation/enhancement to power management to orchestrated software rollouts—even huge rollouts, such as operating systems and new office productivity suites.

But are most organizations really prepared to get the highest possible value from such a diverse range of capabilities as that?

In many cases, they will need a trusted partner that can help them optimize the way they use the solution at every stage—from initial deployment and integration through ongoing management, always with a view toward the unique needs and context of the organization. Just as a tailored suit will always be a better fit, so too a customized solution strategy will always deliver more business value.

That's a big part of what makes the IBM Software Accelerated Value Program so attractive. Because it's personalized for each client, this program can help organizations understand the full power of a sophisticated, multifaceted solution like IBM Endpoint Manager, then leverage that power for best effect in each case.

This extended, customized support ensures that questions will be answered, problems will be solved, and value will be realized much faster and more comprehensively than would have been possible if the organization had acted alone.
