April 29, 2008 -- Blue Medora today announced an expanded relationship with IBM Tivoli Software. After a rigorous validation process, IBM Tivoli awarded the Ready for IBM Tivoli Software technical validation status to Blue Medora’s PeopleSoft Management Pack for IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM).

The Blue Medora PeopleSoft Management Pack for ITM strengthens IBM Tivoli Monitoring by providing deeply integrated monitoring and management capabilities for PeopleSoft environments. The PeopleSoft Management Pack for ITM provides an IBM validated out-of-the-box software extension that enhances ITM’s ability to detect bottlenecks and potential problems in essential PeopleSoft Application Server, Process Scheduler, Tuxedo, and PeopleTools components.

"IBM has taken a thoroughly modern approach to enterprise systems monitoring with IBM Tivoli Monitoring and it is the solution of choice for our customers," said Nathan Owen, President, Blue Medora. "Combining Blue Medora’s ERP focused ITM Management Packs with IBM Tivoli Monitoring gives our mutual customers a more effective means for handling the complexities of monitoring and managing business critical ERP applications."

Blue Medora's PeopleSoft Management Pack for ITM seamlessly integrates into existing ITM environments including key ITM infrastructure components such as TEMS, TEPS, TDW, and TCR. Blue Medora's ITM Agents appear side by side with existing ITM agents and maintain the visual and operational consistency ITM administrators experience with native IBM released ITM agents.
