BMC selected Oracle Exadata Cloud Service running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to power its BMC Helix platform.
Deploying the enterprise-grade BMC Helix ITSM portfolio on the flagship Oracle Exadata Cloud Service on OCI will deliver considerable performance advancements for enterprise customers.
OCI’s built-in security, high availability, and superior price-performance helps customers around the world with their automation and service management requirements without having to worry about capacity constraints. In addition, Oracle’s expansive footprint of 37 cloud regions provides customers with business continuity, disaster recovery, and data sovereignty requirements.
“Our goal is to offer customers the choices they need to enable faster, more accurate, and more efficient ways of delivering service innovations across the globe,” stated Margaret Lee, SVP and GM, Digital Service and Operations Management, BMC. “Partnering with Oracle supports our multicloud strategy to deliver superior performance at the right price point for an exceptional customer experience. We’re excited to bring leading-edge IT service management, employee self-service, IT operations, and AIOps capabilities to IT teams through OCI.”
The BMC Helix portfolio provides customers with an intelligence-enriched, integrated service and operations management platform to enable faster service resolution combined with deeper visibility into critical enterprise operations. By making the BMC Helix platform available through the Oracle Exadata Cloud Service on OCI, BMC Helix will provide superior performance and incidence response rates for key business processes.
“The power of the BMC Helix platform and Oracle’s next-generation cloud infrastructure and database cloud services provides our joint customers with extremely performant, reliable, and secure services for critical IT processes,” said Dave Profozich, SVP, ISV Ecosystem, Oracle. “We're excited to partner with BMC so that organizations across the globe can run Oracle Database workloads in the cloud with Exadata Cloud Service.”
As a customer of Oracle Exadata Cloud Service running on OCI, BMC will jointly market and sell the BMC Helix solutions with Oracle. BMC is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) and an ISV Accelerator partner. The BMC Helix ITSM solution will be available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, where customers can search for available applications and services to find the best-suited business solutions for their organization.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
