[scrm-pvt] Management Roadmap for SCRM discussion

[Heather Kreger]

Hello all, 

I know that conversations are underway in earnest on the landscape and 
taxonomy papers and I am looking forward to being involved in those 
discussions going forward. 

IBM has recently published a white paper with HP and CA that expresses our 
view on the value of using Web services as a management platform to the 
industry, the major, foundational architectural roles, where some existing 
standards and specifications fit into those roles, and some work on our 
radar a little further down the road. We've been informally referring to 
this paper as the 'Management Roadmap'. 

We think this paper is of similar scope and direction of the landscape and 
taxonomy papers. We are very interested in the opinions of those on this 
working group.  We'd also being very interested in discussing if our views 
are similar to your own and if this paper could be used to accellerate the 
development of this group's deliverables.

Hiro, I'd be happy to have this paper discussed on a call/meeting whenever 
the agenda permits.

Here's the post we made to OGSA, WSDM, and DMTF WS-CIM: 
CA, HP and IBM would like to make you  aware of a paper that we have 
recently published jointly.  This paper,  'Management Using Web Services, 
A Proposed Architecture and Roadmap' characterizes challenges facing the 
IT systems  management community and defines a roadmap and strategy for 
the evolution of  management systems to support emerging business 
environments. It explains how a  common approach for manageability (using 
Web services infrastructure) can  simplify the management solutions for 
both existing systems and systems based  upon emerging Service-Oriented 
Architectures (SOA). It defines a comprehensive  Web services based 
systems management architecture that supports, integrates,  and unifies 
several popular management models and technologies in a way to  manage any 
IT resource in a platform and language-neutral manner.     

We believe that CIM, WSDM, WSRF, and WS-Notification are some of the 
 foundation standards for this Roadmap.
