Reduce downtime 50 percent
Reduce IT downtime and outages by 50 percent or more. Novell Business Service Manager automatically consolidates and correlates existing, multi-vendor IT management data into a comprehensive end-to-end model.

It also shows the IT components, relationships and dependencies that support those services and applications. More +
Understand IT issues in a business context
Novell Business Service Manager dynamically links the business-related services IT delivers to the underlying IT infrastructure. You can use this powerful BSM software to understand how IT issues affect your business. Our unique dashboard visualization enhances existing management tools. This means that complex IT infrastructures can be managed, not as a set of components, but rather as the set of services that IT delivers to the business. More +
Increase IT productivity by 33+ percent
Novell Business Service Manager gives IT one platform from which to integrate and interpret data from management tools, log files, event streams, mainframes and more. With Business Service Manager, you’re reducing IT outages and downtime by a significant amount. In addition, you’re managing your IT infrastructure and services from a single user interface (UI)–so there’s just one UI to learn–not multiple. In this way, IT can support complex IT infrastructures with reduced training and learning curves.
Reduce IT costs by 30 percent or more
From improving staff productivity to slashing multiple management licenses, Novell Business Service Manager gives you a variety of ways to cut your IT management costs.

It’s easy to envision gains like this when you’re reducing IT outages and downtime by 50 percent or more.
