Development of the Isadore application is coming along slowly, I realised that the colour scheme wasn’t consistent and so have redrawn the glyphs.

The layout is similar to that in the Microsoft™ System Center™ suite of applications, I am hoping that usage will be fairly intuitive.

Not sure whether to use webbrowser for the top menu (quick links) or a standard icon-driven interface.

ITIL™ is a best-practice framework from the British Office of Government Commerce (OGC). It provides a framework for managing IT systems and infrastructures.

The ITIL articles are found at stevesutton.net/itil, which is a work in progress and aims to provide practical examples of IT management using ITIL™.

Google ITIL should you wish to find out the general concepts.

Isadore is my current software development project.

It is a feature rich ITIL™-based IT Management suite encompassing such features:

• Infrastructure Capacity Planning
• Product Life-cycle management
• Availability management
• Product portfolio management
• Licence tracking
• Change and Release Manageent

I am developing this on my own, so progress is relatively slow. The system is being developed in Borland Delphi and aims to be database agnostic. (I am prototyping using AccessDB [yuck] but serious development will support Oracle, MSSQL and MySQL. I expect to release the whole system using an embedded MySQL deployment.
