Toronto, ON, Canada, November 14, 2006 (XTVWorld.Com) -- Opalis Software, Inc., the leading provider of Run Book Automation (RBA) software that orchestrates, integrates, and automates IT operational processes, today announced its support for Microsoft System Centre Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM 2007) and development of Opalis Integration Pack for SCOM 2007.

The new integration extends Opalis' existing product support for SMS, MOM, Virtual Server, and Active Directory and allows for IT Operations to integrate Microsoft products with management tools from BMC, CA, EMC, HP, IBM, and VMware, to automate best practices and improve IT efficiency.

Opalis RBA software incorporates the people, process, and technology required to orchestrate, integrate, and automate IT best practices, improving service delivery and service levels, while reducing operational costs. This is achieved through extensive out-of-the-box process templates, integration for leading management vendors, and its script/code-free workflow.
