Accenture has worked with BMC Software for 10 years and together we have created a comprehensive IT asset management offering that combines best practices in process, governance and automation to help manage IT asset inventories to accelerate the realization of benefits.
The IT Asset Management solution also offers an ITIL®-driven approach1 and a full set of tools—such as a unified configuration management database (CMDB), automated asset data reconciliation and value-based reporting—that help improve financial management capabilities, optimize the value of IT assets and leverage utility computing in asset management.
In delivering this solution, Accenture contributes leading-edge capabilities in business and IT process management, proven methodologies and deep insights to help clients align technology to their unique business needs. Accenture has developed a number of assets to optimize the delivery of a BMC IT Asset Management solution, including:
- Workplan Template and Estimating Factors
- Requirements/Scoring Model
- IT Asset Management Assessment
- IT asset Management Methodology
- IT Asset Management Strategy and Roadmap
- Detailed Design and Architecture Blueprint
- Implementation Plan
- Target Operating Model
Using these resources, Accenture teams are able to quickly identify gaps in an existing IT infrastructure, implement and integrate the tools and capabilities necessary to fill those gaps, and establish asset management programs that deliver rapid, yet sustainable, benefits. Our ultimate goal is to help clients use their IT asset management capabilities to drive higher levels of IT performance—and by extension, business performance.
1The IT Infrastructure Library, or ITIL, guidelines are an accepted standard in the area of service management. ITIL’s comprehensive documentation on the planning, provision and support of IT services provides the basis for improving the use and effect of an operationally deployed IT infrastructure and describes the architecture needed to establish and operate IT service management.
