Nicholas Parry of Nedbank speaks about how Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM) has automated provisioning to improve resource utilization and enhanced service delivery–ultimately offering his clients faster, less expensive services. TPM helps clients reduce manual steps to better automate the changing demands for IT resources — a key element of IBM’s version of cloud computing, called Blue Cloud. By having more time to focus on their work, Nedbank’s employees are able to efficiently provide the code and functionalities that their clients demand. TPM allows Nedbank to differentiate itself on client service.
[Nicholas Parry, Nedbank]
I’m Nicholas Parry. I work for Nedbank. I’m an executive in the enterprise architecture and design team. I have the accountability for application integration and security as well as leading the SOA center of excellence.
The business strategy we’ve got is to be client-centric. We really want to differentiate ourselves on client service. At the same time we need to reduce costs and make sure that have a lot of efficiency and productivity in the system.
One of the complaints we get from the business units we’re supporting is that we are too expensive and too slow,
We have to spend a lot of time supporting projects, and every time we have to provision a new environment, we take the time away from the project, and we have to go in and build a DR environment or an additional test environment, and whilst we’re doing that, the projects are suffering. So in order to make that a use of those, using TPM, we can provision the environment overnight. The resources come, can come in the morning, check a couple of things, make sure that it’s all OK, and get back onto the project work.
When we started our TPM journey, I wasn’t quite sure what we were going to get out of it. And I went to the lab a couple of times and had a look at it, and it still took a while to get my head around it, but having seen it last week, I’m really excited about what, the possibilities of it are, particularly when we look at our, broader organization and look at the Wintel environment and thousands of servers that we have in there to apply patch management, to make changes for projects, whatever it might be. There’s huge opportunity in this product.

Chris O’Connor of IBM discusses how companies are often hampered by the time-consuming assembly of different IT components. Many need help organizing IT delivery to use IT effectively. With CloudBurst, companies can consolidate multiple components and simplify their environment. By integrating service management software with servers, storage, and services to enable a private cloud, businesses can get their IT in a single complete system, transforming the data center into a dynamic infrastructure that can deliver IT without the complex hardware. Ultimately, it will deliver improved service while reducing costs and increasing business productivity.
[Chris OConnor, IBM]
“My name is Chris OConnor. Im the Vice-President of Strategy and Product Management for Tivoli brand and IBM Software Group. Our clients today tell us that they want to be able move workloads on demand, they want to be able to vary where workloads are placed, and they want to be able to turn them off and on. CloudBurst is designed to fit that environment whether its application dev test, production, or for those that provide services.
One of our real differentiation points is, you dont have to assemble it yourself you dont just order a platform and then go look at all the other components you want to buy. Weve built you a complete system one price, one purchase order, one delivery, of the platform, the software and the services that go along with it to make you productive immediately. We think that this is a tremendous advantage for you, and we think its unique in the industry today.
The CloudBurst offering specifically includes all the elements of the platform. Think of it as your networking fabric, your storage fabric, and your compute fabric tightly integrated together. In addition to that, it includes service management. It includes the ability to create a service catalog to be able to allow you to attach directly to the line of business owners and their application needs without having to understand the deep componentry of how the processes and hardware actually work, as well as it includes integrated services to be able to come in and on day one enable you to use the platform for your business benefit.
Were excited about the new IBM CloudBurst capabilities you can take advantage of.
