What is IBM Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery (TADDM)?
TADDM provides an unparalleled level of visibility into how the infrastructure actually delivers the applications that the business counts on. Furthermore, by augmenting application map data with other enterprise application data such as governance, finance, etc., TADDM delivers integrated, meaningful information that will allow you to transform your IT service management (ITSM) strategy.
What problems does TADDM solve?
Today’s composite applications (e.g. J2EE, .NET, etc.) consist of large numbers of infrastructure components with complex run-time dependencies. Without visibility into these applications and their supporting infrastructure, it is difficult to effectively deliver and manage mission critical business services. This problem has become even more acute with the accelerating rate of change in today’s application infrastructure.
Lacking an automated solution that provides complete and accurate cross-tier run-time dependency and configuration tracking, enterprises cannot improve their problem detection, isolation and resolution processes. Application visibility is equally important for implementing configuration consistency audits within the enterprise to ensure compliance to technology and regulatory standards.
Additionally, to effectively implement IT service management initiatives, enterprises need to incorporate and correlate IT infrastructure information with data from other enterprise applications such as governance, finance and the Service Desk. The TADDM Operations Portal has an out-of-the-box ability to augment application maps with queries into other enterprise data sources

What are the key benefits of TADDM?
TADDM provides complete and detailed application maps of business applications and its supporting infrastructure, including cross-tier dependencies, run-time configuration values and complete change history. By leveraging the automated maintenance of these application maps, as well as the ability to easily integrate this data with other enterprise information, IT organizations can:

Ensure cost-effective and successful implementation of their Business Service Management initiatives
Dramatically lower the business risks of service failures and inconsistencies
Ensure compliance to technology and regulatory standards
Reduce time to problems resolution
