Tivoli Netcool Partner Programs

Partner companies represent professional services organizations, software and network equipment providers. Some partners provide systems implementation and integration, others provide product solutions that support and complement the Tivoli Netcool products. The goals of the partner programs are to:

1. Provide flexibility, choice, and quick delivery for our customers, and
2. Develop integrated, viable solutions for IBM or our partners to market and sell.

Tivoli Netcool Technology Program

The Tivoli Netcool Technology Program is a partner program dedicated to the interoperability of third party products with IBM Tivoli Netcool software. The goal of the Program is to enable third party vendors and IBM to meet customer requirements by providing off-the-shelf integrations.

The Tivoli Netcool Technology Program provides a formal structure for technical cooperation between IBM and the vendor for interoperability activities. The Program is offered to qualified Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the integration of their products with the Tivoli Netcool software for the benefit of our mutual customers. Under the Program IBM develops, owns, maintains and supports a Tivoli Netcool integration module for use with the partner’s product.

Customers can invest with confidence, knowing that there is a relationship between IBM and the third party enabling integration today and in the future.
