Why Choose BMC Helix Remedyforce For Your Business?

Choosing BMC Helix Remedyforce

As small businesses start growing towards becoming mid-size businesses, they often run into the same uncomfortable growing pains: hiring troubles, questions of technology acquisitions, and establishment of new processes for needed policies. ITSM, or IT service management, is a necessary part of business development for businesses as they expand and establish those processes and policies. You may also be considering what you can do to improve your business outlook during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

BMC Helix Remedyforce is an ITSM solution built upon the Salesforce platform to provide best-practice aligned process automation with simple and efficient experience design. At its core, BMC Helix Remedyforce was designed to remove the friction that mid-size business IT teams feel and instead maximize productivity and encourage innovation.

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: 

1. 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.
2. IT service organizations are struggling to keep up and manage expectations with their current technology and the processes that they’ve been using because neither have been updated to reflect the future of business and 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.
