With Tripwire's Professional Services, Tripwire customers receive immediate benefits from integrations of Tripwire configuration control solutions with leading change management databases (CMDBs), Service Desk products, change ticketing systems and other enterprise-level tools designed to manage the technology that supports day-to-day business. While many of Tripwire's integrations can be deployed right out of the box, Tripwire's Professional Services is available to ensure customer implementations are properly installed and configured. And because customer needs vary, Tripwire Professional Services also develops custom integrations upon request.

Tripwire Reconcile Express helps organizations quickly begin automatically classifying and reconciling authorized change without the need for a lengthy integration project. Tripwire Reconcile Express automates the reconciliation of all scheduled changes and facilitates the investigation of unauthorized change, which in turn reduces the potential for system outages that cause missed service level agreements.

Tripwire Professional Services helps organizations integrate the authorized change information IBM Tivoli manages with Tripwire's widely recognized change auditing capabilities. This powerful combination enables organizations to immediately know when the change management process has been circumvented. As a result, organizations increase accountability and control over unauthorized changes that adversely affect regulatory compliance, service availability and IT security.

Tripwire Professional Services integrates Tripwire solutions with HP OpenView solutions so organizations can monitor configuration change to servers across the enterprise, reconcile authorized changes with change orders and receive configuration change alerts from network devices. This integration increases the ROI of enterprise management frameworks and enhances security and control over IT infrastructures so IT teams can proactively manage system integrity and efficiently meet service level agreements.

Out of the box, organizations can deploy the Tripwire for Servers integration with Netcool/OMNIbus™, an integration that helps them determine if integrity violations require remediation. Tripwire for Servers detects integrity violations and alerts Netcool/OMNIbus. Netcool/OMNIbus then correlates violation details with its network, system and application data, providing organizations the information they need to ensure data integrity and security.

Together, Tripwire and BMC® Remedy® AR System® ensure that authorized and planned changes are made correctly and uniformly, best practices are followed and enforced, and unauthorized and unplanned changes are identified and addressed. By detecting and recording the actual changes to IT assets within the change request system, customers can reconcile changes with change requests to ensure successful changes map to a business requirement and easy audits of changes to meet compliance and security requirements.

An integration of Tripwire with BMC Atrium^TM CMDB enables IT organizations to quickly zero in on changes made to systems and devices so they can immediately remediate undesirable changes and provide greater value to the business. Organizations also receive alerts about vulnerable systems like those with high change rates, with higher numbers of unauthorized changes, that don't conform to configuration standards, and that differ from like systems, allowing IT to quickly address the underlying cause.
