BMC Helix ITSM Migration Service

160+ CREDITS

This Service migrates Customer’s existing Remedy ITSM On-Premise platform to BMC Helix ITSM 22.1 and conducts performance testing of Advanced Configurations* and integrations to identify potential performance bottlenecks prior to production go-live.

What you get:

BMC will perform the following:

Analyze and Design

  • Identify and document Non-standard Configurations* and Non-standard Integrations*
  • Prepare Migration Design Document

Prepare for Migration

  • Conduct walkthrough of the migration process
  • Install BMC Helix Data Manager in Customer’s environment
  • Run BMC Helix Data Manager discovery and data mapping
  • Prepare Deployment Plan

Migrate and Test

  • Migrate Foundation Data*, Application Data*, reporting, and transactional data.  This may include ITSM, Smart IT, Digital Workplace
  • Migrate Standard Configurations* and Standard Integrations*
  • Repoint existing Standard Integrations on the target system to the BMC Helix ITSM platform
  • Perform Unit Testing
  • Assist Customer with System Testing and Integration Testing for up to three weeks (for Standard Testing Support) OR six weeks for (comprehensive testing support)

Prepare for Performance Testing

  • Review performance testing approach for Advanced Configurations* and integrations with Customer
  • Identify and modify up to 10 Helix Prescriptive Test Cases* (chosen by Customer) for creating user workloads. Each test case may have up to 10 fields per test case 
  • Identify up to three integrations (based on REST, API, or Web Services) for creating simulated inbound integration workloads

Conduct Performance Testing

  • Simulate peak concurrent usage using Customer-defined workloads and capture performance results
  • Simulate network latency of 0ms/50ms/300ms and capture performance resultsIdentify bottlenecks and provide recommended actions

Final Cut-over and Post-Production Assistance

  • Execute final cut-over as documented in the Migration Design Document and Cutover Plan
  • Provide post-production assistance for up to one week

Customer will be responsible for:

  • Provisioning an on-premises environment to install BMC Helix Data Manager and host a copy of the required databases
  • Provisioning on-premises client gateway servers to facilitate connectivity between Customer’s On-Premise systems and the BMC Helix system
  • Configuring the staging database in Customer’s environment
  • Restoring copy of Customer’s production database on Customer’s staging database
  • Providing access to BMC consultants to their Remedy ITSM on-premises staging environment
  • Provide a fast, reliable connection from the on-premises staging server to the BMC Helix FTP server

Solution Scope and Assumptions

  • Migration and testing will be performed on quality assurance and pre-production environments
  • Performance testing will be executed in the Pre-production environment
  • User loads and integration workloads will be generated using the JMeter load testing tool
  • Performance testing will be run at a BMC data center
  • Integration tests are simulated and do not represent end-to-end integration components
  • BMC assumes no data integrity issues in Customer’s environment
