Overview of integrating BMC Remedyforce with BMC MyIT

Note

BMC Helix Remedyforce no longer supports integration with BMC MyIT.

BMC Remedyforce is a modern IT service management in-the-cloud solution that helps deliver service to organizations with a comprehensive, easy-to-use IT service management application. As a part of its end-to-end service desk capabilities, BMC Remedyforce includes preconfigured best practices for service desk, incident, change, problem, inventory management, and self service.

Intuitive self service enables clients to access resources and help more quickly.

  • Service health monitoring to help end users view the status of administrator-defined services at a glance on their client application, such as their phone application
  • MyIT notifications and broadcasts features to help administrators send messages to the mobile devices of impacted users or broadcast informational messages

How BMC Remedyforce works with BMC MyIT

The following figure provides an overview of how BMC MyIT interacts with BMC Remedyforce.




BMC MyIT OnDemand integrates with BMC Remedyforce. To provide a unified, dedicated, and secure experience, a BMC Remedyforce organization is mapped to a tenant in BMC MyIT.

On successful validation of entitlement and acceptance of the master subscription application, you receive the following details in an email message:

  • For BMC Remedyforce production organizations: URLs to access the BMC MyIT Administration Console and universal client, and URL to download BMC MyIT Mobile application on iOS devices.
  • For BMC Remedyforce sandbox organizations: URLs to access the BMC MyIT Administration Console and universal client, and URL to download BMC MyIT Mobile application on iOS devices.

Use the appropriate URLs based on whether you are integrating a BMC Remedyforce production or sandbox organization with BMC MyIT OnDemand. Otherwise, a login error message is displayed.

Note

To enable the BMC MyIT tenant for the organization to be automatically provisioned, the BMC Remedyforce system administrator must be the first user to log on to the BMC MyIT Administration Console.

All BMC Remedyforce clients with a Salesforce Platform license can log on to BMC MyIT using the same credentials as they would use to log on to BMC Remedyforce Self Service. You can manage BMC Remedyforce users such as clients, staff members, and system administrators from BMC Remedyforce. Existing BMC Remedyforce users can continue using BMC Remedyforce based on their role and privileges. There are no changes to Salesforce licenses.

BMC Remedyforce data (such as service requests, knowledge articles, incidents, client data, and so on) and BMC MyIT data (such as calendars, appointments, quick pick lists, and so on) created within an organization or tenant can be accessed by users of that organization or tenant. BMC MyIT integrates with BMC Remedyforce as a connected application to maintain confidentiality of information and access security. The solution provides a completely seamless and unified self-service experience to BMC MyIT clients in interactions with the service desk.
