Two of the least well-known, but most important acronyms in federal technology are ITSM and ITOM. IT Service Management focuses on services and user experience, while IT Operations Management focuses on technical performance and monitoring.

These two concepts are the backbone for maintaining the massive federal IT systems we see everywhere.

Today, we sat down with Seth Gardner from BMC Helix, who details how BMC Helix can provide insights for service management.

He starts with the importance of visibility and generating clean, reusable data for AI.

Gardner maintains AI is only as good as the data behind it—and most federal agencies are still "re-wrangling" fragmented systems.

In this episode, BMC Helix explains how correlating incidents across 12+ tools can pinpoint root cause and dramatically reduce mean time to resolution.

He also touches on the importance of data sovereignty and security in multi-tenant environments.

The conversation concludes with Seth outlining BMC Helix's differentiator in adapting to rapid technological changes.
