Going back to 1970s, typewriter was used for some form of office automation. This was followed by other technologies, and later the PC era helped improve communication between users to a great extent. Some of these software improvements were also called groupware as they helped collaboration and quicker decision making, which in turn helped improve the bottomline. These collaborative capabilities were achieved, not only because Enterprise Applications matured in its capability, but also because Enterprise IT was able to deliver it, when needed. This hence elevated the contribution of IT to the business.
Over the last decade or so, IT Management too has evolved. From merely monitoring the network and servers to application monitoring, to end user experience monitoring and fault management to performance management to Business Services Management.
Current approach to IT Management
There are lots of point products that can help manage the Network, Servers or Applications etc. Each of these market segments too have matured to a level where the IT Team finds real value.

Invest in products and solutions that have a vision to provide an integrated management solution which help different groups in IT organizations to collaborate towards a common end goal – Delivering better Business Applications. Empower your IT Management capabilities by investing in products and technologies that integrate.

One of the recent announcements from ManageEngine is the integration of the various Network Monitoring capabilities by ManageEngine OpManager that spans across Fault and Performance Management of Core network equipment to monitoring VOIP and Network Change and Configuration Management.
Network Monitoring Integration
Similarly early this year, the integration of ManageEngine Applications Manager and ManageEngine OpManager via the Network Monitoring connector would help IT Teams to have a better perspective of the servers, databases, application servers and the Network.
With this integrated Integrated Server, Application and Network Monitoring ManageEngine Applications Manager will provide availability and performance monitoring for applications and databases, while ManageEngine OpManager provides the same for the network. This information is then provided in a single dashboard for the IT Administrators and Managers to make better informed decisions.
