BMC Helix ITSM Primary Use Case

RajkumarK - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Production Analyst at Victoria's Secret

We used to support VMware applications, focusing on distributed applications such as data from ETW, Snowflake, and SAP. Our role involved processing critical data systems through internal mechanics and IT processes, primarily managed by the application support group. 

We employed services to monitor streams related to critical management and address issues promptly. Initially, we managed on-premises data, which was relatively straightforward. However, with the introduction of BMC Elite, we transitioned to this new platform, finding it more effective than our previous Azure-based approach.

The main use case for Helix ITSM is managing break/fix tickets and all other issues with the product. It tracks customer issues using an incident model. 

We have problem management for recurring issues and do a deep dive if we need some change to fix the root cause. We can also identify if a change caused the issue with a holistic analysis.

Consultant at Pi DATACENTERS

We have a different project in which we implement BMC Helix ITSM, including a built-in ERP solution that has different supply chain management, such as finance, and other projects. Each team assigns the tickets, and if any client is facing an issue in a particular model, they will create the ticket and it will go through this particular use case.

If it relates to supply the chain, it goes to a particular administrator or developers. In this use case, we use approximately 500 users in BMC Helix ITSM.

I was responsible for three implementations with BMC. All of these implementations are related to ITSM, with the IT Service Management implementation, where we manage all the processes like incident management, request fulfillment, problem management, change management, and configuration management. All three projects were of the same scope, with only ITSM managing all these processes in each one.

I used this solution as part of my previous role where I was a solution architect designing comprehensive solutions for customers in the APAC region, including India. The customers predominantly have challenges with respect to the ITSM area.

The primary use cases could be particular incident problems and change management modules. There are of course requirements on your cellphone catalog front. Along with other BMC products, it could be discovery or it could be your monitoring solution.

Every fourth or fifth client I have worked with has had the BMC solution.

It's a cloud solution and deployed on-prem.

ESM Specialist at LetsCloudIT

We use BMC Helix ITSM only for managing internal tickets. I only use it for checking my tickets because I'm just an end-user. I phone the service desk or I use their self-service interface to log my tickets. I have access to the interface, which I use to receive feedback on my tickets. If there's any work that I do for internal support, I use the same interface. The interface is what I use to receive information into the system and let the service desk know how far I am. There's very little that I do on that side of things. It's less than 5 percent of the work I do on BMC Helix ITSM, and 95 percent of the work I do is with CA Service Desk.
