premise – with fewer internal and external resources, resulting in improved
quality and process efficiencies across the organization.”
— Tom Schroeck, Ameritas
“An identified and notable strength of the solution News UK adopted, BMC
Remedyforce, is that of the solution’s extensibility. Because it is built on the
Force.com platform it enables BMC Software to both proactively and
reactively exploit innovative capabilities in response to customer demands
and BMC’s own development.”
— Adam Holtby, Ovum Research (NewsUK)
