... with a clever tool that helps your software understand legalese. With Oblicore Guarantee ESP, shipping today, IT managers can get extra insurance that their organizations are complying with the nitty-gritty details of service-level agreements. According to Hal Steger, vice president of worldwide marketing at Oblicore Inc. in Columbia, Md., by using the SLA Language of Modeling, or Slalom, a contract's blizzard of prose is rendered into easy-to-define, programmable service-level objects (SLO) that are then linked to specific IT operations. Users get a slick dashboard view of the state of SLA compliance. If something appears out of whack, you click on a problem area and discover how severe the penalty will be for blowing the SLA. Because the software integrates with tools like Tivoli and Unicenter, you can discover the source of the operational problem of any SLO in jeopardy. Depending on how precarious your SLA is, Oblicore could keep you off many a slippery slope. Pricing starts at $175,000.
