IT departments are expected to provide high quality services while maintaining costs. Anticipating service impacts, meeting and reporting on service levels, accelerating problem resolution, controlling network configurations and keeping capital costs down are rigorous challenges. And, agency infrastructures are typically complex and include multi-vendor voice and data. How can agencies proactively handle network and voice management issues?

The CA Network & Voice Management solution (CA NVM) provides integrated, proactive fault and performance management for end-to-end service assurance of multi-vendor, multi-technology converged networks. Root cause and impact analysis, intelligent performance insight, predictive capacity planning and automated service reporting help IT departments manage IT as a business service to meet agency and citizen expectations.

CA NVM integrates the management of voice and data networks to greatly improve an agency’s ability to meet service level agreements. CA NVM provides a single view of resource utilization and speeds up problem identification and resolution, enabling predictive, accurate capacity planning. With better utilization and faster problem resolution, agency capital and operational costs are reduced along with downtime.

From initial requisition to the technology graveyard, effectively managing IT assets presents a constant challenge. Federal IT managers must keep tabs on software licenses, regulatory compliance issues, technology upgrades and safe disposal. Given that an agency’s typical IT environment is constantly in flux — consultants bring in personal laptops; users install unsupported software; still others download PDA information to their desktop systems — IT managers need an intelligent management system that gives them an accurate, real-time accounting of all the software and hardware elements that comprise their environment.

There are serious consequences associated with out of control environments. Software audits and the laborious process of inventorying applications running on each user's computer often reveal that users have placed their agency at risk by running unlicensed applications. Without an accurate control mechanism, software audits can discover a myriad of unsupported applications, highlighting the legal and financial ramifications stemming from the unintentional illegal use of software.

Implementing system-wide asset and financial management means that you've decided to end the time-consuming and cost-intensive process of manually inventorying all agency hardware and software IT assets. Let CA help.
