Product overview
BMC Digital Workplace is a self-service application for business users to connect with IT and HR anywhere, anytime, on any device. Users are encouraged to share their experiences and post status updates about the resources that concern them. IT can analyze the conversations around resources to gain insight into service usage trends, to plan for the organization's future needs more efficiently. For highlights of the supported capabilities, see Use cases.
