Name: InTouch TM1 Tool
Brand: Blue Isle Software

Enterprise Planning Analytics Automation Without the ETL Complexity

Proven Reliability for Global TM1 Deployments

Built for Fortune 500 enterprises managing TM1 servers globally. Transform your TM1 operations with battle-tested automation that eliminates scripts, manages sessions with precision, and never leaves dangling connections.

Breakthrough Session Management

Dangling TM1 sessions cause severe performance degradation, failed user logins, and forced server restarts. InTouch AI is fanatical about session management — it never leaves sessions dangling, even when errors occur or timeouts are reached. This capability eliminated chronic server restart issues for a Fortune 500 enterprise managing TM1 servers globally.

Key Benefits

Replace Expensive ETL Tools

Eliminate costly DataStage licensing. Organizations already owning DataStage choose InTouch AI instead for TM1 automation.

Centralized Security

Encrypted credentials with role-based access control. No more passwords in scripts or configuration files.

Immediate Error Detection

Timestamped logging with automatic notifications on failure. Know instantly when something goes wrong.

Production-Proven

Fortune 500 global deployments running 24/7/365. When TM1 experts leave, automated processes keep running.

Why Not DataStage or Other ETL Tools?

Expensive licensing costs, poor scheduling capabilities, extensive configuration required, and no native TM1 integration. ETL tools were designed for general data movement — not TM1 automation. InTouch AI was purpose-built for it.
