BMC Software has announced the immediate availability of BMC Atrium Configuration Management System (CMS) Essentials, a new solution offering that provides customers a ‘starter kit’ for Business Service Management (BSM) and the adoption of best practices as defined by IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL).
Today’s IT organisations are under great pressure to support their companies’ business-critical applications and services. BMC Atrium CMS Essentials increases the rate of successful change implementation, reduces mean time to repair and trouble tickets, and improves IT business responsiveness, while lowering the cost of infrastructure and management tools. The solution’s combination of application programming interfaces (API) and federation allows customers to build upon existing IT investments.
Grounded in ITIL, BSM provides an ideal strategy for ensuring that IT’s mission is aligned to business priorities. BMC Atrium CMS Essentials accelerates that alignment process by bringing together complementary technologies that provide customers a strong foundation for BSM and automation. By facilitating a streamlined approach, BMC Atrium CMS Essentials enables organisations to integrate even the most diverse IT environment.
As part of BMC Atrium CMS Essentials, BMC has included the BMC Blueprint Methodology, an approach that ensures the successful deployment of a CMDB. It provides a special focus on the initial evaluation and planning stages, helping customers to carefully define both their IT and business goals and create a plan to achieve them.
“BMC Atrium CMS Essentials delivers new capabilities that allow customers to make profitable changes to their IT management without a massive overhaul of their existing infrastructure,” said Jim Grant, senior vice president and general manager of BMC’s Enterprise Service Management business unit. “We are arming IT departments with a process-based methodology that will promote successful deployments and greater RoI by aligning existing resources with longer-term strategic initiatives.”
