BMC Remedyforce Provides Transparency Into Its Service Desk Operations

SINGAPORE, 2012-10-17 22:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
FleetPlus - Australia's fastest growing, independent provider of fleet
management and leasing solutions - has achieved double-digit growth each year,
transforming the business from a small start-up to a mid-size organization in
the last decade. The company selected BMC Software's (Nasdaq:BMC) BMC
Remedyforce Service Desk solution over competitor offerings to meet the demands
of growth. 

'We looked at a number of service management solutions and selected BMC
Remedyforce because it was the best strategic fit with the current and future
needs of our operations,' said David Tanti, head of information technology at
FleetPlus. 'BMC offers a SaaS product that can easily scale, at a low-cost
alternative to traditional on-premise solutions, without sacrificing
functionality.' 

Like any fast-growing company, there is pressure to keep costs down and seek
out efficiencies across the business, but there is also a parallel requirement
to be responsive to changing market conditions and client needs. 

The previous approach to service desk management involved staff emailing their
requests to the help desk. About 500 tickets per month were generated as a
result, but only a fraction represented genuine service requests. It was clear
that such service management processes weren't going to scale with FleetPlus as
it continued to grow, but the company did not want to weigh itself down with a
large capital expenditure for a new system, either. 

By adopting the cloud-based BMC Remedyforce Service Desk solution the company
has secured far more transparency into its service desk operations, and
acquired a solution able to grow in sync with FleetPlus. In addition, the
solution has also introduced greater rigor, discipline and transparency,
improving service levels and reducing risk. 

In the future, FleetPlus may enable the Salesforce Chatter functions, which
will allow users to harness the enterprise social network to communicate with
each other.

Service Desk solution, please visit:
