What’s New in NOM 2023.05

Many organizations have a cloud-first/only strategy. But infrastructure and apps remain in data centers during the transition. Operating in multiple clouds and on-prem increases the complexity – leading to unexpected costs, inconsistent service performance, and increased financial risks.

Implementing FinOps can be a visible and quick win for organizations of any size – freeing up funds for innovation. 

Learn how OpenText FinOps solution can help you cut waste and control spend. We will also discuss what role automation plays in improving FinOps best practices and how to put it in operation.

Tame Cloud Costs Across Your Organization

Jaguar TCS Racing uses Micro Focus big data analytics to mine billions of data points―looking beyond the obvious―to find the next competitive edge. Like Jaguar TCS Racing, you can optimize IT service performance by using the Micro Focus OPTIC Data Lake (powered by Vertica) to rapidly ingest huge volumes of monitoring data, even from third-party tools, normalize this data across multi-cloud and datacenter environments, and identify anomalies that speed troubleshooting and get you back in the race. Observability with AI insight into root cause is the key to running well.

How Micro Focus Powers Operations Management the Way It Powers Jaguar TCS Racing

The price tag on cloud is higher than businesses anticipate. The reason? Waste and inefficiencies that creep into your cloud due to a lack of visibility, control, optimization, and accountability.

Grab your coffee and join us at our virtual table to discuss the FinOps (cloud financial management) with David Linthicum, internationally recognized industry expert and thought leader. You’ll learn how to identify cloud waste and implement best practices for optimizing your cloud spend going forward. You’ll also learn about the Micro Focus approach to FinOps. More specifically, we’ll cover:

• Understanding the who, what, and why of cloud spending. Finding the cost monitoring data needed to understand cloud computing costs as part of FinOps.
• Finding cloud spending insights. What the spending data means, including cost spending observability for FinOps.
• Cloud spending optimization using FinOps. How to leverage FinOps data and observability to optimize efficiency using automation and return value to the business.

Host: 
• Travis Greene, Senior Director of ITOM Product Marketing, Micro Focus
Presenters:
• David Linthicum, Technology Visionary, Cloud Innovator, AI Pioneer, Best-Selling Author, and Speaker
• Bruno Labruere, Vice President of ITOM R&D, Micro Focus

What’s New in NOM?

IT Asset Management (ITAM) is always evolving—a good thing. But here’s the downside: 

If your Hardware Asset Management (HAM) and Software Asset Management (SAM) solutions were deployed mainly for on-prem operations, they’re now fragmented, expensive, hard to upgrade, and incompatible with new technologies. Plus, given the great exodus to cloud infrastructures and software-as-a-service (SaaS), your ITAM solution may have fallen behind.

Join this webinar to see what a next gen ITAM solution—one built for today’s hybrid IT environments and tomorrow’s infrastructures—should look like. You’ll watch a demo of Micro Focus Asset Management X (AMX) and discover how AMX can bring your ITAM strategy to life.

Exploring Next-Gen IT Asset Management

More than 90% of today’s global enterprises use hybrid clouds—yet more than 40% of companies are not using any hybrid cloud management solution.

What’s New in the Latest NOM Release?

According to Gartner Research, CIOs, IT leaders and the entire IT team must be focused on a Human-Centric Design for the Workplace. Research In Action calls this delivering a Connected Service Experience (CSX), and it relates closely to your efforts in IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Service Management (ESM).

Join us for a one-hour session with Eveline Oehrlich, VP and Research Director at Research In Action, to learn how to implement a Connected Service Experience. A Connected Service Experience is the experience an employee, customer, partner, or other constituency has during a specific engagement with an organization or institution. It is typically shaped and dependent on the speed, quality, and efficiency of integrations across tasks, processes, and decisions demanded and provided. With experience becoming king in the digital age, it is more important now than ever that businesses create Connected Service Experiences for their employees, customers, and partners.

In the last third of the session, Vesna Soraic, Head of Product Marketing for Service and Cloud Management at Micro Focus, will discuss how Micro Focus solutions support the Connected Service Experience.

You will gain insights into:
• How enterprise, employee, customer and connected service management and experiences are defined.
• The global maturity states of CSX, ESM, ITSM, and market trends.
• Top ESM investment areas prioritized with an eye towards the CSX.
• How ESM can enable your organization to deliver a CSX.
• How Micro Focus SMAX supports the CSX.

Ushering Your ESM Journey Towards a Connected Service Experience

As the primary interface between IT and users, your service management tool plays a key role in your operation. To play that role well, it must work seamlessly with all aspects of configuration, monitoring, automation, and provisioning. 

In this interactive session, Mike Crabtree, ITOM Solution Consultant at Micro Focus, discusses ways to achieve that critical integration. He’ll cover:
• All the integration points of running a service—and the value of each point.
• How AI can help you enhance your services—for example, the Closed Loop Incident Process, which is as valuable in today’s hybrid environments as it was before virtualization.
• How important it is for your service management tool to support customer portals, integration, workflows, and knowledge.

We hope you’ll join us.

Power to Developers, Control for IT in 2022

Fast, easy, personalized digital services drive our lives as consumers. As employees, we expect the same level of consumer-style service at work. 

Enterprise Service Management (ESM) can help satisfy employees in the digital workforce by standardizing and unifying methods for service delivery and support—and by automating digital workflows across IT and business functions. With modern AI, machine learning, and robotic process automation, your ESM software implementation can be a painless one. 

Join this webinar to learn how ESM makes it possible to:
• Deliver superior and consistent employee experiences.
• Extend your IT service desk reach.
• Collaborate without effort.

Discover how to create better workplaces for everyone—and how Micro Focus Enterprise Service Management solutions can help.

Thinking Beyond IT Service Management (ITSM)

The team at Micro Focus is hard at work delivering new capabilities for Network Operations Management (NOM). Join product team leaders as they discuss the latest capabilities for NOM including:  

• Improve response time for incidents with a workflow-based UI – New user interface unifies incident information, detailed performance troubleshooting data, configuration and diagnostic change data, and configuration change deployment all from a single operational dashboard. Enhancements include: 
o     Faster root cause determination with new baseline, configuration change, and diagnostic (running state) overlays on performance graphs in both Performance Troubleshooting and Incident Troubleshooting dashboards 
o     New path tracing delivers faster problem isolation and relationship understanding for included nodes along the layer 3 network path  

• Reducing MTTR by monitoring for change with both configuration and diagnostic change indicators  

• Enhancing communications with OPTIC dashboards and reporting  

• Reduce cost of ownership and increase flexibility with cloud deployment options – NOM now allows for both on-prem, cloud deployment, and hybrid deployments to improve flexibility and reduce costs associated with acquisition of compute for on-premises deployments  

Additionally, we’ll cover enhancements in deployment capability, new license options, and security enhancements in both Network Node Manager i and Network Automations.
