	Tivoli Systems	  Austin, Texas
	Product:  WizDOM( Openlook GUI ),runs on SPARC!	 I just got
	back from a local SUG (Sun Users Group) show, and saw a package
	by Tivoli Systems that makes adding/removing users, creating
	groups, etc., very simple by using direct icon manipulation.
	You can contact them at:

	6034 West Courtyard Drive
	Suite 210
	Austin, TX
	(512) 794-9070

	WizDOM runs on SPARC and Sun3 4.1.x systems.  It has an
	object-oriented framework.  The first 2 applications, Primary
	Resource Manager (PRM) and Privilege and Security Management
	(PSM), ship in the next 2 months.

	PRM allows you to:
	- manager hosts, users and groups
	- simplify NIS and network comm mgmt
	- create and administer policy
	- establish notification services
	- provide basic security services

	PSM allows you to:
	- share responsibility through secure "privilege mgmt"
	- manage the Kerberos security/authentication system.

	GURUtape from Alida, Inc. is one.  Contact is Guy Colaneri.
	Phone number is 201-384-0080.  It runs on Sun[34] from SunOS
