BMC Introduces Digital Enterprise Management Strategy, New Automation Features

BMC this week unveiled its Digital Enterprise Management strategy and new version of its Control-M Automation solution.

In a briefing with TMCnet, BMS Senior Director Tim Eusterman explained that the new strategy addresses the fact that every company today is now a digital technology company, especially in light of digital natives, some of who are now in the workplace.

That strategy encompasses the following four disciplines: digital service management, digital service assurance, digital infrastructure optimization, and digital enterprise automation. Digital service management involves helping companies rethink traditional models of requesting help from IT and delivering solutions that are more people centric. Digital service assurance involves enabling assurance so customers have a proactive approach to maintaining the integrity of their services. Digital infrastructure optimization involves helping customers architect and build systems that avoid wasted capacity so they can make the most of infrastructure to better manage their costs. (That might, for example, involve managing the number of cycles a mainframe uses and CPU time, because those resources are really valuable, said Eusterman.) Digital enterprise automation involves crafting a more integrated and strategic approach to automation across the business for a high level of efficiency and precision.

Control-M, an enterprise job scheduling tool companies can run all of their application processes and services via a single pane of glass, fits into this last discipline. The solution can integrate across different apps, databases, and operating systems.

With the new release 9 of Control-M, BMC focused on improving the cost of ownership, especially around administrative cost and time. Control-M 9 also automates the ability to promote jobs across environments. That includes automating processes related to compliance, so jobs are ready to go and have all compliance and stability built in from the beginning. “So it allows companies to change the dynamic between app development and operations teams to collaborate in a whole new way,” said Eusterman.
