BANGALORE: HCL Technologies (HCLT) has chosen to implement IBM’s Tivoli Suite of products to raise the performance benchmark for enterprise-wide infrastructure management within the organization. This implementation will help enhance cost-effectiveness of HCLT’s Infrastructure management by transforming their processes; saving time and cutting IT costs, while improving security. Earlier this year, HCLT also partnered with IBM Rational to strengthen its software development capabilities. The implementation of key modules from the Tivoli Suite would also help HCLT in developing Tivoli skill base, enhance their Services portfolio and drive sales. The integrated view created by the Tivoli methodology, will allow HCLT to identify and address problems before they happen by providing an end-to-end view of the application. The integrated view of the environment will allow HCLT to interpret the information in the context of their business goals. This investment is aimed at enhancing the delivery of Service Level Agreements and making compliance easy. “We went through a detailed techno-commercial evaluation of industry leading products in the infrastructure management space and concluded that Tivoli would be the best fit for a diverse and heterogenous organization such as ours. We believe, IBM's ability to offer an integrated set of solutions will help us to transform our operating environment, where we are able to respond with flexibility and speed to changing customer needs and market opportunities. We are pleased with IBM’s approach & commitment in working with us as our trusted technology partner”, says Shyamal Bhattacharya, VP – Global IT Services, HCL Technologies. According to R. Dhamodaran, VP & Country Manager, Software Group & Developer Relations, IBM India, “Organizations are faced with many challenges today, including managing complex environments, responding to requests for change and trying to do more with fewer resources. IBM is committed to helping them face those challenges and become on demand businesses. The availability of a set of integrated tools helps businesses align IT resources with their business priorities. IBM’s Tivoli Software would enable HCL technologies to access set of technology capabilities that support a more flexible business design and simplify the IT infrastructure thereby developing an on demand operating environment”. In today's economic climate, integrating the IT infrastructure has become a business necessity. Intelligent management software from Tivoli helps customers realize maximum business value by enabling them to integrate, manage, and secure their e-business infrastructures and processes end-to-end. The addition of autonomic capabilities in Tivoli also helps improve availability and performance, a necessary component as customers advance to fully on demand operating environments.
