New to the community? 5 steps to get started!

STEP 1 - Join a User Group
Joining a local or virtual user group gives you the opportunity to meet with other Tivoli professionals in your area or online. Participating in these meetings is a great way to receive new information, gain new technical knowledge, share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences while having many of your technical questions answered. Typically, local User Groups have meetings ranging from once a quarter to just one or two times a year while virtual user groups meet approximately 4 times a year.

STEP 2- Engage in the collaboration services
