[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM is pleased to announce the availability of IBM BigFix Inventory and 
IBM License Metric Tool v9.2.3 application updates.

These  updates improve our reporting effectiveness and flexibility and for 
BigFix Inventory expand on its value to mitigate security risks.

environments and specific country language settings across computers in 
different geographical locations. 
Data is now encoded into UTF-8 format so that it is properly displayed and 
interpreted by BigFix. It removes the need to set dedicated code-pages to 
work-around previous limitations. 
?       Conditional email notifications and flexible date filtering on all 
of the available reports.
Allow to aggregate the inventory accordingly to flexible date filtering 
criteria as well as to send e-mail notifications to interested parties 
when pre-configured alerting conditions are met.

licensing reporting. Delivered as supported limited availability feature
?       BigFix Inventory option to collect MD5 and SHA256 hash key file 
checksums to mitigate security risks.

security teams by collecting key security attributes as part of software 
discovery to properly identify security exposures.
