BigFix Inventory training

We recently deployed IBM Control Desk (SCCD/Maximo) and are in the process of deploying BigFix Inventory. Can someone recommend training focused on how to get the most out of BigFix Inventory + Control Desk? I am especially interested in Software Asset Management including sub-capacity licensing, user-based licenses, RVU’s, PVU’s, VM’s, etc.

Hi,

There is a section “integration” on BFI knowledgecenter as well as on Control Desk.
Will that limited information be enough?

What version of BigFix Inventory are you running? The integration between BFI and ICD uses a component called ITIC (IBM Tivoli Integration Composer). As Andrzej said, the Knowledge center will get you started. There is no formal training available on the usage of BFI or SUA (as it was previously called) with IBM Control Desk.

There are a few white papers that may help you out, including this one:

Software License Management in IBM Control Desk

There are also some YouTube videos:
