Ready for IBM Tivoli software - Open Process Automation Library

Integrate your solution with the world-class leader in IBM Service Management software. Then highlight your solution by validating it as Ready for IBM Tivoli software and placing it into the Open Process Automation Library (OPAL).

Gain valuable exposure, increase your credibility, and help shorten your customer's evaluation cycles for your tools. Achieving Ready for IBM Tivoli software validation shows customers that your solution meets or exceeds IBM compatibility criteria and successfully integrates with one or more of the products listed below.

Once your solution is validated you can display the Ready for IBM Tivoli software mark in the packaging and marketing materials of your qualified offerings.

The validation process is also your entrance into IBM Tivoli OPAL. This online library contains product extensions (automation packages, integration adapters, agents, and configuration files) developed by IBM and IBM Business Partners. Through OPAL, you'll gain global visibility to customers, other Business Partners and IBM sales teams worldwide.
