  1. Good find. I had not heard about that, I'm interested to see the pricing costs associated with it to see if it makes sense for any of our clients in the future.

    1. First of all, choose your certification from the available
      IBM Tivoli certifications.

      Each certification has one or more test to pass.
      Each test has some resources to prepare and a sample test.
      The 'Objectives' tab is VERY important. Read it carefully.

      Here are some good resources.
