Integrating BMC Helix ITSM with Jira


During a software development phase, the development team might need multiple services from various departments in the company. The agents responsible for resolving these service requests should be able to access the requests quickly. The applications that the development team uses to develop the software might be different from the applications that the agents use to track and resolve requests.

BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker enables you to synchronize these applications and let the agents access the service requests timely.

Scenario

Information
Scenario

Apex Global uses Jira to track their development efforts. During a software development process, the engineers need two new servers for software development and testing. The engineers request for these servers through Jira. However, the help desk agents in the company do not have access to Jira and instead, use BMC Helix ITSM.

Apex Global wants to synchronize Jira issues and BMC Helix ITSM tickets so that agents can easily access the Jira issues in BMC Helix ITSM itself.

To sum up, an issue is created in Jira; a ticket needs to be created in BMC Helix ITSM for the issue.

Benefits

  • Efficient management of development requests
  • Single point of access for agents to view the development requests and work on them
  • Reduced time for agents because they do not have to use multiple applications
