BMC BladeLogic Client Automation

BMC BladeLogic Client Automation reduces the complexity and costs of managing desktops, laptops, and handheld devices. It does this through policy-based automation of application management, inventory, software usage tracking, and software harvesting, as well as advanced PC power settings.

By automating the delivery, installation, updating, repair, removal, and management of applications on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, the product helps departments meet growing service level demands, and reduces business risk associated with application downtime and virus attacks.

By tracking software usage for both physical and virtual applications, BMC BladeLogic Client Automation provides IT departments with visibility into what applications are installed across the enterprise, as well as their usage frequency. This knowledge can help them minimize potential violation issues, reduce software license purchase costs, and increase the use of existing licenses. When the BMC BladeLogic Client Automation product is deployed as part of a larger BMC Change and Configuration Management solution, it provides vital usage statistics to BMC Asset Management by means of BMC Atrium Configuration Management Database, to match what is deployed and being used against software contracts stored in BMC Asset Management.
