Windward CTO's Feature on BSM Published in InformationWeek

Windward IT Solutions, the premier operational
management consulting and systems engineering firm, announced today that
InformationWeek has published a review of BSM vendor dashboards by Windward
CTO Michael Biddick. Today software sellers are pushing Business Service
Management, or BSM, portfolios, but early adapters feel the technology has
proven unable to provide clear links between IT events and business
services. While Biddick states there is no single product that enables
complete business service management, he believes the key to successful BSM
is having strong service catalogs, centralized inventory via a
configuration management database, detailed application dependency mapping
and utilized process management tools.
The review, "BSM Vendors Push Products, But Process Is More Important" may
be found in the May 10th, 2008 issue of InformationWeek print edition and
