Hello IM Community: There is just so much happening in the IM Community and certainly no shortage of information! This update covers two weeks of information for Feb 23rd - March 5th. Yes, I admit - I am a bit behind with this blog update (and for that I do apologize), but it is with good reason. We've been very busy migrating in the Unified Infrastructure Management ("UIM") User Forum to our community. I'm happy to report the migration of the data was completed just last evening. A special training location has been established just for UIM customers! Please help me welcome our new community members!
