Integration improves systems availability, manageability and compliance

Portland, Ore. — SignaCert, Inc., the leading provider of software measurement and integrity verification solutions, today announced that its Enterprise Trust Services solution is now "Ready for IBM Tivoli Software."

SignaCert Enterprise Trust Services delivers a new fundamental capability to businesses and government - allowing them to measure, verify, and maintain the state of their enterprise infrastructure using a known, trusted reference. With this solution companies can prove their systems are deployed and configured as intended over their lifetime.

As a result of the integrated solution between IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB) and SignaCert, customers are able to measure to populate the IBM Tivoli CCMDB with software assets and configuration items discovered and verified by SignaCert. The benefits are improved systems availability, manageability and compliance.

"IBM is helping their customers take a proactive approach to reduce incident and problem management costs by validating that our solutions interface with the IBM Tivoli CCMDB," said Wyatt Starnes, Founder and CEO of SignaCert. "Traditional approaches to managing IT systems aren't working, and the industry recognizes the need for our new technology to keep IT systems running strong."

SignaCert is an independent, platform neutral, out of band measurement tool that can be implemented within a matter of hours, with no impact to the enterprise's business systems.
