Have you heard about IBM IZSME?

IBM Z Service Management Explorer (IZSME) is a web-based replacement for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP). The IZSME interface is a Zowe desktop plug-in, so if you recall my prior post about Zowe, this shows the potential importance of Zowe as the backbone infrastructure for IBM mainframe monitoring and management moving forward.

IZSME requires Zowe 1.10 or higher and supports Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.Here's a link for more information on IZSME  More about IZSME

Here's a quick screen shot of what IZSME looks like relative to the TEP.
