How MIDAS Product Suite 3.x can help the HP OM Administrator:

The challenges are:

- An ever increasing number of nodes, applications and services to be managed/monitored
- Shorter release cycles. No time for proper testing and impact analysis when changes are performed.
- High customer demands for availability of services & documentation.

- No additional staff.

The details are:

- Lacking availability and transparency of IT management information in HP OM.
- Difficult and very time consuming generation of documentation for HP OM configuration objects
  such as e.g. templates/policies and nodes.
- Lacking automation capabilities for day-to-day activities. - Error prone administration process.
- No release management/process oriented management of HP OM configuration.
- Lacking ability to delegate administrative tasks in HP OM.

- Insufficient auditing capabilities.
