Tivoli Systems was an Austin, Texas systems-management software company founded in 1989 that helped enterprises manage distributed client/server networks of PCs and workstations. After a 1995 NASDAQ IPO (TIVS), IBM acquired Tivoli in March 1996 for approximately $743 million, and it became the IBM Tivoli enterprise systems and network management brand before IBM retired the name and folded its products into other IBM software lines. A historic Norwest venture exit, Tivoli no longer exists as an independent company and publishes no independent API surface; tivoli.com is an IBM-held domain that redirects toward ibm.com.
Tivoli is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Systems Management, IT Operations, Enterprise Software, and Network Management.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tivoli: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
