The problems that BMC Helix Remedyforce solves
BMC Helix Remedyforce doesn’t just provide benefits and improve on old processes—it also solves specific problems that you may be running into as your business matures. A few of these problems that your business may run into include:
- As companies grow and move to the cloud/virtual services, the pressure increases on IT service organizations with increasingly faster changes to both technology and the businesses that use that technology.

To “remedy” these common issues, Remedyforce encompasses the needs of service and support solutions to encourage IT service organizations to modernize, increase their flexibility, and improve technology to become more intuitive in their support capabilities. Also, BMC Helix Remedyforce works to include key ITIL processes to help IT function more capably.
