3 Introduction Why does BMC Software have two service desk solutions? There are many reasons, and some of these are outlined in this document. What are the two solutions? 1. BMC Remedy Service Desk is a core component of BMC s Business Service Management solution strategy. Remedy and BSM are targeted at the global 2000 large enterprise market. Remedy customers demand extensive customization capabilities, as well as multiple platform support, multilingual support and a CMDB with federation and reconciliation functionality. 2. BMC Service Desk Express (SDE) is a core component of BMC s IT Systems Management Express solution strategy. Service Desk Express and the ITSME strategy are targeted at midsize organizations or departments of larger companies. SDE customers want a service desk solution that is easy to install, easy to maintain, easy to use and provides a low total cost of ownership. Together, Remedy and Service Desk Express make BMC the worldwide market leader in Problem Management. Without both service desk products, HP would be the market leader. It is important to understand customer needs before promoting one solution over the other. This document is intended to help you determine which solution is best for the customer. Although they both provide features like incident management, change management, and problem management, there are many differences between Remedy Service Desk and Service Desk Express. Here are some of the key data points to consider when choosing between these two industry leading solutions. ** Please note that all of these items are simply guidelines and are not strict rules.»» For example, typically customers whose budget is less than $75,000(55K Euro) are better candidates for SDE, however some customers have spent much more on an SDE purchase. Generally customers who need an implementation within a few weeks or less will be better suited with SDE.»» If a customer is very ITIL focused and needs extensive customization capabilities, Remedy may meet their needs better. If they need a multilingual or localized system, Remedy is generally the better choice. 1

6 BMC Service Desk Express / ITSME - Overview Business Challenge It is important that IT solutions add value by activating business and impacting the bottom line. Selecting the right service desk or help desk for managing operations can help accomplish this goal.

7 »» Native integrations to configuration management, password management, remote support and performance management tools automate manual tasks to improve productivity ITIL Alignment BMC and ITIL BMC Software provides software and services to help your organization put ITIL into practice. Both SDE and Remedy ITSM have PinkVerify validation for ITILv2 and v3. BMC was the first vendor worldwide to be given ITILV2 accreditation and ITILv3 accreditation. The detail below shows the PinkVerify table for SDE and Remedy ITSM. SDE is compatible with 7 ITIL processes and Remedy ITSM is compatible with 11 processes. Customers who require advanced ITIL compatibility such as Event Management and Availability Management will more likely prefer Remedy. 5
8 Both solutions utilize the Service Management Process model or Align Ability Process model to aid implementation, training and ongoing use of the solutions. When the Align Ability Process Model is applied to SDE, it also attains ITIL Release Management compatibility, based on the self assessment. Analyst Views SDE has limited analyst coverage, as most analysts focus on the large enterprise market, which will purchase these reports and pay for consulting with them. Gartner now only covers enterprise products, for example. They used to report on SDE and smaller competitors before SDE was acquired by BMC. Remedy is covered by several analysts such as Gartner, IDC, Forrester and Yphise. Below are some details from recent analyst reports. The Forrester Wave: Service Desk Management Tools, Q Forrester reports on large enterprise and small enterprise markets. They show Remedy as a leader in both categories. Excerpts: In Forrester s 96-criteria evaluation of service desk management tools vendors, we found that BMC Software s Remedy IT Service Management, CA, HP, and IBM lead the pack for large enterprises because of the depth and breadth of their offerings that integrate the service desk into a complete IT service management framework Large enterprises are less likely to be happy with the other products in our evaluation BMC s Service Desk Express Suite, FrontRange s HEAT, and Numara s Track-It! However, midsized enterprises those with fewer users being supported, less complex requirements, or more limited needs will find a market with numerous choices and less clear differentiation. With the combination of BMC Remedy IT Service Management and BMC Service Desk Express Suite, BMC has assembled a suite of tools that can fit an organization of virtually any size. At the upper end, the market-leading Remedy product line has been integrated into the company s Atrium suite, with the underlying CMDB shared among all components of the Atrium line developed in Remedy s Action Request (AR) language.... BMC Service Desk Express Suite, the former Magic Help Desk product line, is targeted for organizations with 2,500 or fewer employees By their sheer breadth of available functionality and capabilities, BMC, CA, HP, and IBM score at the top of the pack. However, a decision to implement one of these products within a smaller organization may lead to higher implementation and management costs for an implementation that will only take advantage of a fraction of the product s capabilities. 6
9 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Desk (Nov2008) BMC Remedy is positioned as a visionary leader. Yphise Ranks BMC Number 1 for Software Asset Management Independent Researcher Yphise Ranks BMC Asset Management as the Best Software Asset Management Solution Yphise certifies BMC Asset Management as the best-ranked software solution for the Software Asset Management business case. 7
10 An excerpt from the Yphise report: BMC Remedy Asset Management has the best coverage of our list of requirements. The solution uses BMC Atrium Configuration Management System as a single and unified repository that manages both software assets and configuration items (CIs). This provides a quick understanding of the relationships between software assets and business services. We appreciate the seamless integration into BMC Remedy Change Management and BMC Service Automation solutions. This helps automate and control the various processes that involve software assets, such as service provisioning or legal compliance enforcement.. Yphase Ranked BMC Atrium Number One for CMS Independent Researcher Yphise ranks BMC Atrium CMDB as the best among the competition Yphise certifies BMC Atrium CMDB as the best-ranked software solution for the CMS business case. Here s an excerpt from the Yphise report: An excerpt from the Yphise report: BMC Atrium CMDB (BMC) provides best coverage of our list of requirements. It stands out in each of the four dimensions. The solution also ranked first in our 2007 CMDB software assessment. This highlights its maturity and suitability for investing in this business case. The vendor also provides two solutions, BMC Analytics for BSM and BMC Dashboards for BSM, to facilitate information display at the executive level. Business runs on IT. IT runs on BMC Software.
