Integrating

BMC Remedyforce supports integrations with other products from BMC and third-party vendors. BMC Remedyforce also provides out-of-the-box Pentaho packages to enable you to import data from various external data sources by using the Pentaho Data Integration tool. Based on your requirements, you can choose to import data into BMC Remedyforce CMDB 2.0 by using other data import tools. In addition, you can import users from an LDAP server by using Pentaho packages or from a CSV file by using the Data Loader.

The following table provides information about the integrations that you can configure based on your requirements.
