Keeping You in the Know

Orb Data is pleased to announce a series of new workshops aimed at helping customers to get the very best from their Tivoli software. Dates for these workshops can be found in our brand new Course Schedule for 2012.

Introduction to Tivoli Common Reporting 2.1

Using a predominately hands-on approach, this one-day workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the latest version of the Tivoli Common Reporting product which is based on the industry leading IBM Cognos platform.

With more and more Tivoli products, particularly within the IBM Tivoli Monitoring space, now shipping with IBM Cognos based reports, learning how to exploit the new functionality offered by IBM Cognos can significantly enhance the value these products provide.

Customers who previously found the development of reports using the BIRT based offering too onerous will relish the Query Studio, where reports can literally be created on the fly in a matter of minutes simply by dragging and dropping the required data items onto a page.  For more complex and sophisticated reports, the Report Studio offers a wealth of functionality.

For more information concerning the workshop, and to register your interest, please see Introduction to Tivoli Common Reporting 2.1.

Impact Development: A Practical Guide

This Orb Data written "uses and how to use it" workshop provides an introduction to development of automations and integrations with IBM Tivoli Netcool/Impact. Following a high level introduction the workshop considers the low level process flow and guides to best practice based on the experiences of Orb Data’s consultants whilst engaged with mutli-national companies. This workshop does not consider the implementation of a Netcool/Impact infrastructure, but how an infrastructure can be used to maximise  the ROI and efficiency of the event processing solution. The delegates will have a number of opportunities to try practical examples of the concepts learnt during the course, with exercises being completed on an Impact v5.1.1 implementation.

This workshop is usually combined with a customer design session where customer business requirements are analysed, solutions designed and implemented under the guidance of one of Orb Data's consultants.
