MyIT
BMC MyIT is an intuitive, next-generation self-service app. Its fantastic user-friendly interface makes it simple for users to connect with IT from any device, no matter where they are. When users experience IT issues, they can raise formless requests and search for knowledge articles that may solve their problem via the app, helping to reduce level one calls. Every purchase of Remedyforce includes 250 MyIT base licences at no extra cost, and MyIT Premium is available as a licence add on.
MyIT also allows users to monitor service health, set appointments with service desk staff, collaborate with colleagues via social features and access location management features which map company buildings and points of interest. Additionally, it provides mobile access to features including the Remedyforce service catalogue, Chatter (where enabled), and notifications.
Facilitating increased productivity and customer satisfaction, as well as reduced downtime and service costs, make MyIT an extremely valuable component of the BMC offering.
New Agentless Discovery
Remedyforce’s new agentless discovery allows users to configure and populate the CMDB natively with more efficiency than ever before. This intuitive feature is provided at no extra cost to customers, and helps to maximise return on investment by facilitating proactive management of the IT environment, increasing first call resolution rates, and reducing support call times.
With two primary components, agentless discovery is quick and easy to set up. The Scanner is the only on-premise component required for the discovery process and is a Windows device on which an agent is running. It accesses and scans individual devices and groups of devices via standard protocols to retrieve asset information.
The Discovery Server facilitates communication between scanners, BMC Remedyforce itself, and discovered devices. Once the discovery stage has taken place, operating system information, hardware configuration and software inventory details for each device are stored on this server.
Salesforce, AppExchange & Lightning Experience
Remedyforce is built on the Salesforce platform, known worldwide for its outstanding security and reliability. Innovation is at the core of the Salesforce offering, and now, sixteen years after pioneering it, the platform is the leader in cloud and business applications, handling billions of transactions per day. Remedyforce’s effectiveness and value can be amplified by integrating it with many of the 2,500+ powerful apps and programs on offer on Salesforce AppExchange – the leading business app marketplace across the globe. Each app takes just a few clicks to install, but the positive effects can be felt right across your business.
Salesforce’s new Lightning Experience allows you to build and design engaging modern enterprise apps with ease, and reach your customers in a whole new way. If you’re looking for a particular component for an app, you’ll be able to search and source it in the Lightning Exchange – a new store within the AppExchange, where all Salesforce developed and partner-built components are available for download.
There are three elements to the Lightning Experience, and each plays an important part in enabling you to deliver a customised, smart user experience across desktops, tablets and mobile devices. Lightning Components are pre-built building blocks for app development that are designed using HTML, CSS or JavaScript, and can be reused to save on development time. These components can be combined with customised modules and existing AppExchange modules in the Lightning App Builder to create outstanding, powerful apps with great efficiency. App Builder comes with drag and drop functionality, making it easier to configure the exact user interface that you require. Lightning Design System is the final element of the Lightning Experience, providing developers with the capability to make apps look beautiful and consistent. Style guides, best practice, and design patterns allow for a seamless user experience, whilst design changes can be made without manually updating code simply by swapping Design Tokens.
Client Management
Remedyforce Client Management is an extension of Agentless Discovery and is available as an upgrade to your licence. It provides even further automation, driving proactivity through capabilities such as agent-based discovery, remote management, hardware and software compliance, software normalisation, patch management and deployment management. Remedyforce Client Management allows centralised management and reporting on all endpoints from a single console, and also provides users with the opportunity to define and automate advanced actions, for example, ‘perform a disk clean-up once a drive space threshold is reached’. This helps to eliminate support calls and drive efficiency.
Unlike Agentless Discovery, Remedyforce Client Management is a fully hosted solution. The ‘master’ server, hosted as a unique instance, has a single associated database which is used to store the vast data collected. The Java-based administration console and the devices under BMC Client Management use the application server’s public DNS name to connect to it – this set up provides administration for any internet-connected child device.
