BMC Software Becomes the First Vendor Awarded Pink Elephant’s PinkVERIFY ITIL 4 Certification


For the second time, BMC is first out of the gate to be granted a PinkVERIFY certification, this time for Pink Elephant’s new ITIL 4 compatibility criteria

Burlington, ON – September 24, 2020 – Pink Elephant is pleased to announce that BMC Software is the first vendor to achieve ITIL® 4 PinkVERIFY certification for its BMC Helix ITSM software tool. This is another first for BMC, the inaugural recipient of the PinkVERIFY certification for ITIL v3 compatibility back in 2008.

Backed by the IT service management community for more than two decades, PinkVERIFY is recognized as the assessment certification to achieve for ITSM software. By becoming PinkVERIFY-certified, BMC has attained the all-important industry “stamp of approval” – a proven guarantee that their tool supports ITIL 4 best practices. BMC’s Helix Software has been rigorously assessed by an accredited Pink expert consultant to determine the tool’s compatibility with five core ITIL 4 practices.

“BMC has once again demonstrated its commitment to providing customers with ITIL best-practice compatible solutions that support their process improvement initiatives,” said David Ratcliffe, President of Pink Elephant. “This PinkVERIFY certification demonstrates that BMC’s Helix Software supports ITIL 4 practices through its workflows, functionality, terminology, and documentation. Congratulations to BMC!”
