Unlock Workload Automation: Hybrid IT scheduling and Intelligent Job Prediction at your hands. [Webinar]

Wednesday, June 3, 2015 11:00 AM EST

What if you had the possibility to run any type of workload, On Premises or Cloud, from a single point of control?  What if you could predict with confidence your job's duration and the impact of changes in your workloads?

We are in an era of accelerated industry innovation and transformation. Forces such as data, social media and cloud services are enabling this change. Transformation drives the need for cutting-edge automation to control and maintain business processes, and magnify operational efficiency. Cutting-edge automation must serve IT and Business users, with flexible and consumable services approaches, and with intelligent capabilities to support decision making at every level.

IBM Workload Automation evolved dramatically in the past year. It enables new models of automation for hybrid IT and continuously delivers scheduling flexibility, to empower IT to drive business transformation for the organization. Automation is consumable as a service, both for a greater range of users and applications, and for rapid delivery of business services, while maintaining autonomy for business users.

And the journey continues with predictive intelligence to anticipate problems and make informed, intelligent decisions. Embedded analytics use historical plan information to predict job durations, with no manual work or switching context. Analytics exploit historical workload trends to help organizations understand the impact of changes to business-critical services.

It’s time to seize the opportunity to disrupt the traditional scheduling business-as-usual for better agility with modern automation. IBM Workload Automation Version 9 can be the backbone technology for you to work in more impactful ways.

Stay Off the Data Breach List: Protect Your Data, Your Enterprise, and Your Customers

IBM is excited to announce a one of a kind webcast - show casing THREE of our industry leading security solutions:  Trusteer, MaaS360 and IBM Endpoint Manager.

Tuesday, Sept 16, 2014 at 12:00pm Eastern

Security breaches have become common headline news these days. It's often hard to keep track of who was hacked and what data was at stake. These incidents put companies in the limelight for all the wrong reasons--and in return they can suffer significant financial losses and damaged reputations. Given that a data breach on average goes undetected for about 8 months, getting access to real-time visibility into the status of your endpoints is crucial to ensuring your organization’s data hasn't been compromised. 

As BYOD and mobility increasingly become part of the standard way we do business, your security risk factor is even greater given the complex mix of mobile apps and devices in the workplace. You need a robust security strategy that secures and protects your data, devices and customers against advanced security threats and malicious code. 

Keep your name off the Data Breach List. Join this webcast discussion with senior security experts from Trusteer, MaaS360 and IBM Endpoint Manager to learn how you can ensure your enterprise data and customers are protected at all times with a comprehensive unified endpoint solution that provides real-time visibility and control to all your endpoints both on and off the network.

Live Demo: Why can’t we be friends? PC + Mobile: Unified Endpoint Management

Monday, August 25, 2014 10:00 am Eastern (One hour.)

If your organization is like most, you have a vibrant mix of devices connecting to your corporate network. And that probably means that you have a number of dedicated point solutions and resources to manage those endpoints and associated data, apps, and access. Now consider that by 2015, 40% of the workforce will be mobile yet fewer than 50% of all companies have a mobile strategy. Whether we like it or not, we live in a BYOD world. The upside: The huge increase in end-user productivity. The downside: The huge increase in security risk.

How much risk is too much? A recent IBM Global Study on IT risk found that a ‘minor event’ cost over $50,000/minute based on the initial intensive “response, diagnose, and fix” costs and that’s for the security events which are found. On average, a data breach goes undetected for about 8 months – that’s a whole light of financial risk not to mention the potential for damaged reputations.

Many organizations are thinking about how to securely manage all endpoints in an integrated manner but IBM is delivering it today. IBM is the only company that is a leader in both the Client Management Tools and Endpoint Mobility Management markets and now we have brought these two solutions together to give you an industry leading Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution.

Unified Endpoint Management allows you to securely manage the diversity of endpoints – from mobile devices to servers - both on and off your corporate network, so you can find and fix problems in minutes, thereby reducing your security exposure and giving you real-time visibility into the status of your endpoints.

Join Unified Endpoint Management experts as they walk you through our solution that provides:

• Consolidated view of all endpoints (smartphones, laptops, desktops, servers, etc)
• Ability to drive security actions on mobile devices (lock, wipe, locate, etc)
• Consolidated asset reporting capabilities

IBM Named the Only Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobility Services

ARMONK, N.Y., Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that Gartner, Inc. has recognized IBM as a leader in the 2014 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed Mobility Services (MMS).1
For the report, Gartner evaluated 14 vendors, recognizing IBM as the only leader based on its completeness of vision and ability to execute. IBM's market leading IT and business consulting services are dedicated to bringing mobile capabilities to businesses by helping them select the right technologies for their unique needs in order to spur adoption and drive positive business outcomes.

IBM's mobility services are a part of the IBM MobileFirst portfolio, which enables clients to build and deploy mobile applications, protect and manage mobile infrastructure, and engage customers in context. IBM is helping companies unlock the full potential of enterprise mobility with solutions built from the ground up – not migrated from the desktop – to solve complex problems and improve outcomes at every moment.

"We believe that being named the only leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant recognizes our commitment to mobilizing today's businesses and transforming their operations both now and in the future," said Rich Esposito, General Manager, IBM Global Mobility Services. "Like the Internet before it, mobile devices are changing how employees operate and how businesses engage their customers. As this evolution continues, we feel IBM has clearly emerged as the choice to usher organizations into the mobile age."

IBM's consistent investment in its portfolio of software, IT services and enterprise mobility management (EMM) personnel allows IBM to effectively service customers by adding value at nearly every step on the journey to becoming a more effective mobile-centric enterprise.

IBM continues to make both organic investments and acquisitions that extend the IBM MobileFirst portfolio. For example, through the acquisition of companies such as mobile device management and security company Fiberlink, IBM has grown its customer base while opening up opportunities to introduce new value-added mobile services to clients.

Earlier this year, IBM announced that it was positioned by Gartner as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Mobility Management Suites .2

Gartner evaluated the 14 service providers that qualified for inclusion in this Magic Quadrant, and also interviewed client references provided by the Magic Quadrant participants to gain their input for this research. Gartner's Magic Quadrant research process also includes evaluation criteria that provided a comprehensive framework, which was used to analyze the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision of 14 providers of MMS worldwide.
