IT teams cannot manage what they cannot see, and that challenge is made more complex when trying to manage IT assets across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, while also supporting DevOps teams and managing containerized and microservices-based application delivery.
BMC Helix Discovery, an industry-leading SaaS-based, cloud-native discovery and dependency mapping system, can solve these issues by delivering instant visibility across your entire IT estate. A recently released Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study commissioned by BMC found benefits culminating in a return on investment (ROI) of a significant 314 percent.
Before their implementation of BMC Helix Discovery, participants in the study were managing assets with legacy and homegrown solutions and manual processes, which led to security breaches, a lack of visibility, and outdated information, as well as high costs and inefficient processes. By implementing the solution and gaining end-to-end visibility, the composite organization comprised of interviewees with experience using BMC Helix Discovery realized benefits that include:
- Improved IT productivity: By gaining better visibility into the IT asset ecosystem and achieving accurate, real-time data, organizations netted $684,000 worth of increased IT team productivity related to managing assets and infrastructures.
- More efficient IT asset incident resolution and recovery: By leveraging the solution’s better-quality data to identify the root cause of incidents and reduce time spent resolving them, end users avoided downtime worth $ 2.8 million.
- Better IT asset optimization: Improved visibility helped organizations avoid the licensing fees and costs associated with managing unused assets, saving $2.5 million.
- Improved IT asset security: By mitigating risk and improving their overall security posture with better visibility, organizations realized security improvements worth $1.2 million.
In addition to the quantifiable benefits of BMC Helix Discovery, the organizations in the study credited the solution with helping them grow their business alongside managing their complex IT infrastructures.
