IBM has announced the availability of new online software services that enable better automation and control of IT Service Desk functions. This new service adds to IBM’s SaaS offerings that help automate a range of IT services critical to maintaining business operations.
To help meet the demand of automating IT functions, IBM Tivoli Live- service manager allows enterprises to start with IT Service Desk functionality, for instance, and grow into more extensive IT automation services as a company’s needs change- such as change management, asset management and other IT management areas.
