S&T Opens Competence Centre Dedicated to Providing IBM Tivoli Expertise
Ljubljana branch combines Tivoli expert knowledge
19 February 2007. Austria – Slovenia. The third of five planned S&T Competence Centres, called the S&T Competence Centre for IBM Tivoli, has now opened for business. The S&T branch in Ljubljana with 360 employees offers the successful service provider's IBM Tivoli know-how. From this location, S&T’s Tivoli expertise is made available to all of the 18 countries where the S&T Group has a presence. The Competence Centre for IBM Tivoli is responsible for proactive business, market development and respective training.
S&T Slovenia has successfully completed many Tivoli projects and has expert knowledge in this area. The Competence Centre will have its own designated area within the S&T branch in Ljubljana, but will work closely with local sales and marketing staff. In addition, Slovenian specialists will support projects in other countries where S&T has a presence and further develop its services on an international basis. Mitja Podlesnik and Andreij Zimsek will be responsible for managing the Competence Centre. Rosner: 'There is a significant market demand for IBM Tivoli. There are not enough experienced specialists available, particularly for certain areas such as security. We have the necessary know-how and are now using it better across the whole Group.'
In the first few months, the S&T Competence Centre for IBM Tivoli will focus on providing expertise for the newly acquired security solutions within the IBM Tivoli portfolio. Not many companies are currently able to offer comprehensive expertise in this area. IT security still remains one of the most important issues in the IT world. Leaving aside the increasing danger of attacks, the security business is rapidly growing as a result of legal rules and regulations, compliance guidelines, etc.
