Product Spotlight
This workload automation solution continues to improve IT system reliability and to provide faster workflow performance and usability, all while reducing operating costs. Through a simplified dashboard, Control-M is a digital enterprise automation solution that simplifies and automates diverse batch application workloads while reducing failure rates, improving SLAs, and accelerating application deployment.

Through a single point of control, Control-M enables users to monitor job flow and task status at-a-glance; to view completed, in-process, and predictive job run-times on any device; to track job status anywhere, anytime; and, to request and review services with web-based Self Service.

 
The FootPrints™ Administrator Companion Tool  was created by RjR Innovations to help the BMC community with FootPrints Service Core version 12. This tool helps bring several pieces of information together from the connected FootPrints system into a CSV file or a data table. This is useful when designing new business processes, learning your back-end database, using web service integrations, performing back-end data imports (such as item relationships) and viewing current license usage.

Qsync and Qreset now compatible with Windows 10!
RjR developed Qsync to provide users with secure two-factor authentication to a windows logon session. Qsync is a registered smart card credential provider that will appear when the user presses the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination. Qsync automatically extracts the  Microsoft Windows® domain password securely from the SmartCard and then logs the user on to the workstation and network.
Qreset™ is an enterprise Self Service Password Reset solution for Microsoft Windows user credentials. With Qreset™, your users can reset their forgotten Windows credentials directly from the Windows logon screen. They can set a series of challenge questions and answers that will then be presented back to them when they need to reset their password, decreasing your IT support costs and increasing your security.

André Lalonde - Support Team Lead
 
What’s it like having 24-Hour Emergency Support* from RjR Innovations? Three of our customers have found out in the last month! When your system is down and you call in, within 1 hour, you’ll have access to a senior Support Analyst who will troubleshoot and provide remote support via Bomgar and most importantly, stay in constant contact until we’ve determined your mission-critical systems are up and running once more. Be it a Saturday morning or even 10PM on a Tuesday…. To use two totally random examples, of course!
 
In more than one instance of these latest Emergency Support calls, our Support Analyst determined that our clients’ issues didn’t actually stem from the RjR supported product, but had to do with network or server authentication issues. That didn’t mean that we wiped our hands of the issues and let the clients deal with them on their own! We stayed with our clients every step of the way until everything was working as it should.
 
As Support Team Lead, I’d like to thank all of our on-call Support Analysts and Consultants who’ve demonstrated the value of our Emergency Support to our clients. As our President and CEO Robert Beauchamp says, this level of professionalism “makes an enormous difference with our customers and provides them with a comfort level that is often unmatched.”
 
Good job, everyone!
