Business Value Planview OpenSuite for BMC Atrium CMDB was created for organizations that want to integrate their core IT management solutions and improve their ability to manage services as defined in ITILv3. The CMDB is a strategic initiative in almost every IT operations organization and is a vital component of the ITIL and Business Service Management (BSM) approaches for managing IT services. By uniting portfolio management with business service management, Planview builds on the ITIL-driven trend of Service Portfolio Management (SPM) and enables a comprehensive, closed-loop change management solution. Planview Enterprise Service Portfolio Management (SPM) enables organizations to optimize their services portfolio through making decisions on what services to invest in, retire, enhance or outsource. Interoperability with BMC Atrium CMDB automatically and accurately populates the service topology in SPM so that Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of services can be assessed. By having a complete, up-to-date picture of services, managers can make more informed decisions to optimize their services portfolio. The service portfolio becomes part of the overall strategic planning process in Planview Enterprise to help organizations better allocate funding between sustaining operations and innovation projects. With the integration of BMC Software solutions to Planview Enterprise, project-driven changes can be seamlessly managed through the entire change lifecycle. Project-driven changes related to services are integrated via Planview OpenSuite for BMC Remedy Change Management to provide a closed-loop from projects to change requests to the CMDB. Solution Value With Planview OpenSuite for BMC Atrium CMDB, one can now seamlessly integrate Planview Enterprise, the market-leading system of record for work and resource management, with BMC Atrium CMDB, the market-leading system of record for the IT infrastructure. When these two powerful technologies are "bridged" together-along with Planview OpenSuite for BMC Remedy Change Management and Planview OpenSuite for BMC Remedy Service Desk-organizations can take advantage of a comprehensive set of ITIL-compatible Portfolio Management integrations to BMC ITSM offerings. Planview OpenSuite for BMC Atrium CMDB enables true closed-loop change management. It solves the problem of keeping the Service Portfolio up-to-date with the current infrastructure environment data. The BMC Atrium CMDB holds information about the Current State of services, topology, and infrastructure and sends this information to Planview Enterprise. Planview Enterprise helps align to strategies, manage work and resources, and create projects with associated schedule and resource information. When the project is completed and ready to be deployed, this information is then sent to BMC Remedy Change Management, which issues change requests that go to the datacenter. When the work is done, Planview Enterprise and-through auto discovery- the BMC Atrium CMDB are updated and a new Current State is created. Key Features and Benefits
