Short Take: AMS partners with Tivoli

Consulting firm American Management Systems (AMS) is moving closer to IBM's Tivoli Systems by becoming its global partner. Through the agreement, which represents the highest possible level of partnership, AMS will develop a Tivoli competency center in its Fairfax, Virginia-based lab. The center will allow AMS to train people to integrate and implement Tivoli products for its clients, who may visit the center to examine Tivoli's systems management capabilities.
