BMC partners with Google Cloud

BM has entered into a multi-year agreement to deliver BMC Helix service and operations management solutions on Google Cloud. Customers get a secure, low-latency cloud infrastructure, and streamlined access to Google Cloud capabilities that give companies of all sizes access to an enterprise-grade solution on their journey to become an ADE.

The BMC Helix solution is already a market leader in reliability, scalability, flexibility, and delivery of business value to customers. Google Cloud’s focus on supporting global enterprise customers with data analytics and contact-centre AI, coupled with the BMC Helix platform’s open, micro-services-based architecture, now provides even more companies with the innovation and technology choices they need to succeed amid ever-changing market dynamics.

“Bringing BMC’s platform to Google Cloud will enable businesses to quickly deploy and scale its enterprise automation capabilities in a secure and trusted environment,” said Janet Kennedy, VP, North America at Google Cloud. “We’re thrilled to support BMC’s growth in the cloud, and to jointly help enterprises modernise and automate their most critical systems and services through the use of cloud infrastructure, AI, ML, and data analytics.”

This announcement extends the BMC and Google Cloud partnership. The BMC Helix platform currently provides customers with the choice of using a variety of Google Cloud technology integrations, including:

Google Translate for virtual agents, chatbots

Google Analytics for measuring service experiences

BMC Helix Discovery utilising Google Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) for deep, secure dynamic Google Cloud estate mapping
