Please plan on attending what may be our most significant TSM user group 
meeting ever!
Mark your calendar for Thursday, May 3, 2012.

We will have a lot of technical info to discuss. Also, Colin Dawson from IBM 
will be here to get your feedback on IBM's design for a new release of the TSM 
Administrator's GUI interface (which will be significantly different from the 
current ISC/TIP).

The new admin interface is currently in the design phase. Colin will be showing 
mockups of the screens they are considering in the new design. IBM wants 
feedback on our reactions to the design, and they want a better understanding 
of what TSM administrators need from the interface. This is your opportunity to 
provide feedback and have an impact on the design process!

PLEASE REGISTER and please forward this announcement to anyone in your 
organization who may be interested. Registration instructions below.
