BMC Helix Chatbot
Fast answers to enquiries or problems
The BMC Helix Chatbot answers users’ enquiries or deals with their problems very quickly. Thanks to the process designer integrated in BMC, simple waterfall dialogues can be implemented easily and conveniently. In BMC, processes of varying levels of complexity can be configured to map the different actions within a dialogue. It is also possible to connect up service catalogue items for product selection. In scenarios such as when a fault message occurs, the chatbot can easily initiate further actions via existing BMC applications. So, the user can also be informed about the status of their ticket.

BMC Helix Discovery
Transparent IT thanks to Discovery
BMC Helix Discovery delivers a comprehensive overview of IT systems and of how they deliver business services. With BMC Helix Discovery, data about data centre inventories, configurations and their relationships to each other are determined automatically and mapped to business applications in the IT infrastructure.
Added values at a glance
- Minimise the risks that go hand in hand with changes by providing your change advisory board with reliable data about dependencies so as to be able to evaluate the impact of changes.
- Restore services faster by replacing the dependence on undocumented knowledge with reliable configuration and relationship data.
- Avoid audit penalties and optimize the hardware and software in data centres.
- Ensure compliant and secure processes in data centres.

BMC Helix Discovery automatically finds and maintains a complete and up to date directory of data centre inventories and their interrelationships. In this way the precision of the data is guaranteed, and data collection costs are reduced. The viewability of all data centre inventories, their use and the complex interrelationships between the data provides staff in the fields of IT assets, customer service and operations management with the information they need to be able to make the right planning decisions, to manage changes securely and to understand the real costs of provisioning company services.

BMC Helix CMDB
Your trusted data source
BMC Helix Discovery automatically recognises inventory, configuration and relationship data in the data centre and maps business applications to the IT infrastructure.
As a key process in the IT, the configuration management depends fundamentally on the quality of the information in the CMDB. This quality can, in the long run, only be ensured by means of highly automated maintenance of the CIs and their links. This automated maintenance is dependent on providing data completely and correctly. This is taken care of by Helix Discovery as an agentless discovery tool for data centres with a high level of integration in the BMC Helix CMDB.
BMC Helix Discovery provides information about who is using which CIs in the company and the relationship the CIs have to each other. This makes it much easier to carry out a cause analysis if faults occur. BMC Helix Discovery acts as the Trusted Data Source for data centres.
Materna delivers consulting services, analysis, concept design, implementation, customizing and migrations for BMC Helix Discovery.
