[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM is pleased to announce that BigFix Inventory application update 9.2.2
is available.

This application update continues to add incremental value to BigFix
Inventory by enhancing its multi-tenancy and software catalog management
capabilities.

Starting from this release, one BigFix Inventory server can be used to
manage the entire worldwide client deployment and provide IBM capacity
reports in compliance with the defined IBM subcapacity regions.

What is more, Managed Service Providers and customers can now use BigFix
Inventory to provide reporting per client as well as aggregation and
reporting for IBM (including IBM subcapacity) and non-IBM products per
business unit or division type.

BigFix Inventory web user interface can also be used to add and manage
extended software signatures, which removes the need of using Software
Knowledge Base Toolkit.

The full list of new features available in BigFix Inventory 9.2.2 includes:
- License reports per IBM subcapacity region
- License reports per organizational business unit
- License reports in the service provider environment
- Creating extended signatures directly in BigFix Inventory without the
necessity of installing Software Knowledge Base Toolkit
