Al Zollar Keynote RSC 2009 Managing Assets

Some very good sessions happened this week at Rational Software Conference.   Al Zollar gave an excellent keynote presentation at the Rational Software Conference 2009.  Al Zollar is the General Manager of IBM Tivoli.  He explained how companies have to deliver smarter products using many kinds of assets.  Assets that include Intellectual property assets, software assets and hardware assets.  He describes how Rational and Tivoli solutions working together can provide comprehensive asset lifecyle and services across both development and operations.   He described how Rational Asset Manager is a key part of delivering these assets and bridging software and operations.   He describes how multiple products from Rational and Tivoli integrated with Rational Asset Manager to deliver this solution, including Tivoli CMDB.

Fast forward to minute 30 in Al Zollar’s WebCast to hear and see him present how to do asset management using a definitive software library.

Rational Asset Manager was also identified as a key part of “Tools for the Cloud”  and “Tools in the Cloud” in the newly announced IBM Developer Cloud Services.
