NetIQ’s solutions help IT organizations deliver critical business services, mitigate operational risk, and document policy compliance. The company’s portfolio of award-winning management solutions includes Performance Management, Security Management, Configuration Management and Change Control. Its flagship products include AppManager and Security Manager.

The company is also a leading vendor for IT Process Automation (also known as Run Book Automation) with the NetIQ Aegis product.

“IT process automation is a solution that can actually interconnect products in an intelligent scheme and aggregate data to be delivered to the right user. The most important announcement to date around this integration potential has come from NetIQ Aegis: It is proposing an architecture that combines data collection from different sources with a process automation layer able to deliver the right information to the right user in the context of an ITIL process. While this is an inherent capability of all IT process automation products available on the market, NetIQ is the first IT management software vendor to take the concept to logical and full implementation.”
