BMC Helix Control-M Introduced

BMC introduced BMC Helix Control-M, a SaaS application workflow orchestration solution built on BMC's leading Control-M product.

The new SaaS offering provides a highly accessible, end-to-end, single view orchestration platform for application, file transfer, and data pipeline workflows. Built for development, IT operations, and business users, the BMC Helix Control-M solution delivers a unique, self-service automation experience for greater business agility and speed with integrated, deep production operations and governance capabilities. Along with recent innovations across the BMC portfolio, BMC Helix Control-M serves as the technology foundation for every Autonomous Digital Enterprise (ADE).

BMC's Control-M is a solution for application and data workflow orchestration and a critical element of the ADE journey. Now available as a SaaS solution, BMC Helix Control-M continues the tradition of ensuring companies can drive their digital business application and services delivery by making it easy to define, schedule, manage, and monitor application workflows, ensuring visibility, reliability, and on-time, every-time production delivery.

The BMC Helix Control-M solution simplifies workflow complexity with a single, end-to-end enterprise view across complex, heterogeneous application, data, and infrastructure environments that are constantly changing – all delivered in a SaaS user experience for highly decentralized, self-service consumption. The solution integrates seamlessly into hybrid infrastructures and is hosted and delivered through AWS. It empowers a diverse set of users – from Dev to Ops and more – to confidently implement the cutting-edge digital products and services they need to achieve their business goals, without needing to rely on multiple siloed automation and orchestration tools to run their business applications.

With the latest BMC Helix and BMC AMI releases building on the strength of BMC's enterprise software portfolio, customers can start building their ADE foundation that delivers the agility, customer centricity, and actionable insights needed to support innovation and growth and allows them to thrive in a disruptive market. Customers can bring the five pillars of ADE – Transcendent Customer Experience, Automation Everywhere, Enterprise DevOps, Data-Driven Business, and Adaptive Cybersecurity – to life with:

- Integrated IT service and operations management, adding intelligent automation and AI/ML for proactive resolution

- Immersive customer experiences with Digital Assistant and the industry award-winning BMC Helix Chatbot solution

- Addition of persistence layer with common data across SecOps, IT operations, IT service management, and beyond

- Pre-built integrations across major third-party solutions that enable customers to work with their existing infrastructure

"Given the rate of change in today's world and how it will accelerate further as we move into the future, we must find solutions that allow us to run with the agility to react quickly, ensure customer centricity in every engagement, and leverage data and turn it into actionable insights – all to provide us with the freedom to reinvent our business for the future," said Ayman Sayed, President and CEO, BMC. "We are excited to prepare all of our customers for future opportunities and advance their journey as an Autonomous Digital Enterprise to help them stay competitive in an ever-shifting, disruptive world."

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...

For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...

Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...

For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...

New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...

Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
