Solidcore to host online seminar With IBM on using Change Control within IBM’s ITSM Framework to Meet Compliance Goals

Palo Alto, California – February 28, 2006 – Solidcore Systems, Inc., the leading provider of IT control solutions, today announced that it will host an online seminar on “Closing the Change Control Gap” with Rick Nelson, Service Area Manager, IT Service Management at IBM.

One of the primary challenges to achieving best-in-class IT services management is controlling system change. Many companies are aggressively implementing change management systems to streamline and automate the process of approving system changes. But these so-called systems of record continue to deviate substantially from the actual state of deployed servers. Reconciling these deviations is a time-consuming and expensive task.

The Solidcore web seminar with IBM describes how change control is at the heart of IBM's ITSM framework and is the critical ingredient in meeting compliance objectives. It presents a hierarchy of change control requirements that include real-time visibility into system changes, accountability for changes, change reconciliation, and eventual enforcement of change policy on IT systems.

WHAT
Web Seminar: Closing the Change Control Gap
Attendees will learn how to successfully accomplish the following:

• Leverage the IBM ITSM model to achieve enforceable change control
• Track every change on Windows, UNIX, or Linux servers in real-time
• Link changes with approved change requests automatically
• Enforce change policy on the server by stopping unauthorized changes

WHEN/WHERE
March 8, 2006 - 2:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am Pacific online
