BMC Software Busts Barriers to Easy, Mobile IT AutomationHOUSTON --(Business Wire)-- When IT issues arise, business personnel are frequently left in the dark with no control over the situation or its impact. Addressing the problem, BMC Software (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: BMC) reinvented the way IT automates business processes with the new BMC Control-M Workload Automation version 8 solution. The software gives business users the access and control they need to quickly make decisions that propel business - anytime, anywhere. See the video overview. "When I first introduced [BMC Software's new Control-M V8] to our users, they were blown away with how simple it looks and how easy it is for them to use," said Dax Johnson, lead technical architect, University of California, Berkeley. "It's going to take less time for us to train and that helps them do their regular day jobs." See video testimonial. Workload automation is the "nerve center" of every modern business. It moves funds between financial institutions around the globe; controls information exchange between airlines; and even helps hospitals manage patient records, surgery schedules and more. By streamlining processes, it plays a critical role in overcoming the complexity of today's data centers, which are frequently a disparate mix of cloud, distributed, virtual and mainframe systems. "Organizations are increasingly using automation to automate business processes to compete and differentiate their products, also to lower costs and improve quality at the same time," said Milind Govekar, Managing Vice President, Gartner (News - Alert), Inc. "While workload automation was once about coordinating the backend of business processes, new mobility and self service capabilities are now enabling business users to play a more active role in ensuring business runs smoothly." The BMC Control-M Workload Automation version 8 solution delivers new features and functionality that empower both business and IT teams to more easily automate and manage all business processes from a single point of control:
The BMC Control-M Community, which hosts thousands of active members, provides a portal for support, education and tips.
