Help answer this question below.
Because I quite liked this paragraph, here it is, snipped from http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/43/43499.html :
Control freaks take note. IBM subsidiary Tivoli Software provides a variety of products for managing computer networks (including servers, storage systems, desktops, and mainframes). The company's software includes applications that enable network administrators to control users, systems, databases, and applications from a single location. Tivoli's products are also used for tasks such as storage resource management, security management, and performance and availability monitoring. The company offers services such as consulting, implementation, and training.
For a more expansive list of what Tivoli do/provide, check out the relative pages on the IBM site: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/ .
[edit] I guess, if a company really wanted to, they could use the Tivoli software to spy on their employees. But there's already so many other, simpler ways to do this (as I know well from analysing the setup of my sixth form computer network and talking to the admins) that the Tivoli setup I would've thought is just a little too cumbersome and not-designed-for-the-purpose to be bothered with doing that.
I would guess that nearly all companies "spy" on their employees in other ways anyway... But sure, I guess the technologies employed in the Tivoli range could be used for purposes other than their intended original function. In the UK, the Data Protection Act offers some safety anyway, at least (in theory)...

The gist of my original questions was: can Tivoli be used as corporate "spyware" on employees?
