Business Challenge
Founded in 1988, Buchanan Technologies is experiencing rapid growth with over 850 employees as enterprises across the U.S. and Canada turn to this IT services leader for help desk and managed services. The company recently launched a transformational initiative to position itself to support growth and empower its customers to excel in the digital economy. The primary challenge in achieving the company’s transformational objectives was to maintain reliable service delivery throughout the transformation without a corresponding increase in IT resources.
BMC Solution
Buchanan Technologies is leveraging the functionality, integration, and scalability of BMC Helix ITSM, TrueSight Operations Management, and BMC Helix Client Management to support its evolving digital service management strategy.
