Automate IT Asset Lifecycles
Opalis IT process automation (ITPA) solutions automate incident, change, provisioning, backup/recovery, maintenance, and security processes and incorporate physical, financial and contractual aspects of the process by integrating with asset management systems such as HP Asset Manager. An ITPA solution can also help alleviate pain associated with setting up and maintaining an asset management system by automating processes that search other inventory systems, and integrate those assets into the asset manager. ITPA adds further value with the ability to automatically discover information about CIs and track and report on changes as they occur in near real-time.
Standardize best practices and enforce compliance
Opalis' built-in event monitoring and rule-based workflow capabilities enable users to design processes that automatically create and populate assets like computers, software, devices, and phone system information into HP's asset manager portfolio. This standardized and enforces compliance of best practices so companies can maintain tighter control over their investments.
Consolidate assets for greater cost control
Opalis' script-free integration and support for customized environments enables users to easily consolidate software information stored in external inventory repositories such as IBM Tivoli, BMC BladeLogic, MS SCCM, or other enterprise discovery systems like Novell Tally into HP Asset Manager, to provide better usage tracking for charge back models and stock levels for cost control.
Automate service requests for faster service delivery
Opalis provides heterogeneous support and dynamic process configuration, which provides users with a fast and easy way to integrate HP Asset Manager with other data center tools involved in procurement requests, service requests, incidents, and audits. This eliminates the latency and errors associated with manual processes to improve service delivery while enforcing best practices.
Automate Service Requests to Improve Service Delivery
This Opalis process orchestrates HP Service Manager, VMware, and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to dynamically allocate resources to fulfill service requests, ensuring high availability so SLAs are met.
