IBM began phasing out use of the Tivoli brand in 2013 and by 2016 had moved the portfolio products into a revised and rebranded hierarchy.

[1][2] Tivoli Systems Inc. was founded in Austin, Texas in 1989 by Bob Fabbio[3] and quickly joined by Peter Valdes, Todd Smith and Steve Marcie; all were former IBM employees.

The then CEO Frank Moss saw the company listed on NASDAQ in March 1995[6] and the subsequent merger into IBM in 1996.

[9][4] There are some thoughts this may have resulted in the brand containing a large set of overlapping and marginal products[4] In April 2013 IBM renamed "Tivoli Software" Division to "Cloud & Smarter Infrastructure".

[13] IBM was also the leading provider of Enterprise Asset Management software, for the 7th consecutive year, according to ARC Advisory Group, a research analyst firm for industry and infrastructure.
