New software aims to make employees central to the workplace

With automation and artificial intelligence becoming increasingly important for business, many employees are worried about what that means for their careers and future as part of a human workforce.

IT solutions specialist BMC is launching its new Digital Workplace, a cloud-based service that enables IT, HR, legal, facilities management, and any other line-of-business groups to offer employees a one-stop-shop for the tools and information they need to do their work.

With millennials expected to make up 75 percent of the workforce by 2025, organizations must adapt to meet the influx of digital natives and their workplace expectations. They need to create more open and collaborative human environments that enable employees to have the same consumer-oriented experience at work that they enjoy in their personal lives.

"The future of work will be built on transformative digital workplaces that engage and empower employees by placing them at the center of an increasingly-cognitive enterprise," says Nayaki Nayyar, president, digital service management at BMC. "Companies that fail to prepare for a business landscape where artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and automation redefine how we work will have difficulty attracting and retaining skilled workforces. Our BMC Digital Workplace solution increases the ability to deliver on those criteria by providing key digital workplace capabilities in the cloud or on-premise, all available via a single pane of glass that transforms the way we work."

Available both in the cloud and on-premise, BMC Digital Workplace can reduce service desk call volume and free up support teams to spend more time focused on business-critical issues and strategic initiatives.
