Global ITSM Transformation – BMC Helix Remedyforce Implementation
Managed the local implementation of a global IT Service Management (ITSM) transformation initiative that migrated the organization from a legacy local ticketing application to BMC Helix Remedyforce, the enterprise-standard ITSM platform adopted across multiple countries. As the Local Project Manager, I acted as the primary liaison between local business stakeholders, the Global Program Team in the United States, and the implementation vendor in India. The project required aligning local operational processes with global ITSM governance while ensuring business continuity, regulatory compliance, and successful user adoption. The implementation included Incident Management, Service Request Management, Change Management, Problem Management, Service Catalog, and standardized approval workflows, enabling a consistent service management framework across global operations.
