I've talked with folks over the years who have tried to implement Tivoli
100%.  100% doesn't seem attainable.  Tivoli implementations generally last
2-4 years before they give up and find another product.  There's quite a bit
of development involved in getting it to work in each environment, which
usually means bringing in Tivoli consultants at $250-500 per hour.

Tivoli tends to infest companies where SMS is already installed and running,
so there are quite a few horror stories from SMS Admins.  I'd suggest doing
a search on the SMS list for 'Tivoli'.

It's funny you ask that question. We are in the midst of figuring out what
the cost will be to implement/maintain Tivoli for monitoring/software
distribution/inventory. How much of an increase in staff is necessary? 

Completely off topic, I know. Just curious if anyone can share there
success/horror stories on implementing Tivoli. What size shop, what did it
cost, how much of an increase in staff?

Here ya' go.  You will probably "enjoy" managing with Tivoli's current
products.  I'm monitoring our entire W2k3/AD lab environment with Tivoli. I
think they've gotten it right this time (with customization).

Any of you folks know of a good list (or would that be a "support group"?)
for Tivoli?
