  • Our service desk has been able to scale and our service offerings to our customers has improved over the in house created application that it was replaced by.
  • We are able to monitor our SLA agreements through the SLM module which has helped improve service delivery.
  • Change management has been more effective in coordinating change, partly through the tool and partly through service improvement efforts.

  • I don't have any hard numbers for this but without Remedy notifying people with incident tickets about issues we would not be in the position that we are.
  • Our company has over a 99.99% up time and part of it is due to the Remedy system notifying people of possible issues before it causes a downtime.
  • Thanks to Remedy's change request process it has allowed our company to make changes with the confidence that everything will go as planned.

  • We have been able to run a successful outsourcing business on BMC Remedy approaching 10 years.
  • Our recovery model and mutually beneficial license agreement with BMC allowed us to fund other work.
  • The upgrade process was complex and expensive.

  • Positive feedback from the collaboration it generates
  • Negative feedback regarding difficulty of customizations
  • ROI has been positive do to the lack of unnecessary data entry other systems have caused us to do.

  • ROI is slow as initial investment is high.
  • New entry products have come up with colorful feature which is sometimes [found] attractive by the end users. As far as Remedy is concerned, this is process oriented tool rather than customer oriented.

  • Sorry, as the contractor (brought in to complete the work where the knowledge to perform the task isn't in house, I'm not normally involved in any of the ROI discussions.

  • We have most of our Incidents within the system, so we can have a real picture of our IT performance.
  • We get the chance to gather feedback from the customers via responses to the resoulutions to their requests.
  • By managing changes, our IT systems become more stable, we have less incidents and have better reputation in the eyes of our customers.

  • BMC ITSM has allowed us to focus on improving our incident resolution process and reduce our incident backlog significantly.
  • The Change Management application makes it possible for our business users to actively manage business related changes while providing the deep auditing capability we need.

  • Reduced call handing time by using the Smart IT Smart recorder. Because of the suggested templates and knowledge articles there has been an increased efficiency vs having to either jump out of the ticket and look for knowledge articles or find the right template to use.
  • Increase first call resolution due to the knowledge suggestion feature.
  • Ability to leverage a shared set of IT Technicians to support multiple customers because of the use of the shared Remedy system. Yet, customers can only see their data maintaining data privacy across customer companies.

  • It has helped to bring all of our IT into alignment and methodologies when it comes to change management.
  • With MyIT and Remedy 9, we are finally able to onboard our non-IT users and provide self service options that are not overwhelming in an IT based world.

  • Potentially lower operational expenditures than SaaS model due to a variety of complex factors (depends on exact price, maintenance bill, storage, administration, implementation, etc...)
  • Higher % of Automated Incident Resolution (via automation) for customers with integrated IT Operations products from BMC
  • Greater % of Release & Change orchestration (in total customer base) leading to lower average change durations
  • Lower average approval times for changes due to native serial and parallel workflows (no coding required).
  • Potentially much higher administrative costs due to poor implementation/support/upgrade partner. In fact, it makes much more sense financially to work with BMC's implementation community in all but the most exceptional circumstances.
  • Increased % of Incidents & Requests created and resolved from Self-Service
  • Higher % of customers with automated incident generation from event management, lowering handling times (not necessarily resolution!)
