Great to hear/learn. Please feel free to comment and contribute via these comments as we all build things out together. This is a continual work in progress and everyones insights and perspectives help! I hadn't heard about BarcampESM, now I have. Sounds like something really cool that I hope to get on my todo list and attend. Doug- Thanks for the insights. Great to hear/learn.

It replaced the legacy Tivoli Risk Manager product IIRC. Performance and capacity is all over the place. For the BIIIIG service providers/enterprise clients we have Netcool/Proviso. For the smaller clients it appears to be a gap, though some will say it's ITM with it's TEP portal for charting/graphing + TCR for reporting. The Vallent stuff is really just for the wireless guys for now, though it's a safe bet some of that technology will be reused and/or combined with other products as needed. Some folks may try and pitch Vallent's Service Assure (now Tivoli Network Service Quality Manager - TNSQM) into the traditional SLA/SLM space (availability/uptime stuff). Way too early to tell here. They mentioned at the meeting last night about adding some "real-time" on-demand charting/graphing to the ITNM for IP product that would be useful for "real-time" troubleshooting. If you'd like some help with your DCAB stuff, I'm more than happy to help out in your business intelligence area (BSM, BAM, Dashboards, E2E Service Mgmt, IT-Business Alignment, etc.). Use of the "Business Intelligence" term may be a bit confusing with the traditional BI stuff. I'm sure I can get John to help out some as well, especially as you navigate down into more practical concepts, approaches, etc. You may also be interested in BarCampESM planned for early next year. John is one of the coordinators along with Cote' (peopleoverprocess.com) and whurley (http://talk.bmc.com/blogs/blog-whurley/whurley/). Ping me anytime - all my info is on my blog: http://dougmcclure.net Doug Hey Ryan,
