BMC announced the general availability of the new BMC Innovation Suite solution for developers.

Initially available on Amazon Web Services, the cloud-based development environment is designed to empower developers as well as business analysts to co-create powerful enterprise apps with stunning user experiences.

Developers are the central players in enabling successful digital transformation strategies, and the new BMC offering empowers developers and business analysts to co-create innovative digital service management applications in the cloud.

"Innovation can no longer only be driven by IT. The priorities of digital business require that BMC empowers faster innovation across organizations, so we are raising our commitment to developers and building an ecosystem where we support ‘no-code, low-code and pro-coder' developer-environment capabilities," said Nayaki Nayyar, President, Digital Service Management at BMC. "In a complex multi-source environment landscape, BMC Innovation Suite enables businesses to accelerate digital service management apps and services getting to market through agile app development and offers a huge competitive advantage to those companies adopting it."

Tailored for third-party developers and freelancers as well as partner and customer app developers, the BMC Innovation Suite solution combines modern coding languages with simplified design tools.

Other features include:

- Innovation Studio: Simple, intuitive drag-and-drop UI to do codeless innovation, enabling business users to collaborate with IT

- SDK: A set of tools and samples that is integrated with the Innovation Studio feature

- Library of connectors and components: Capabilities that can be used to extend and configure when building powerful applications

- REST APIs: APIs required to integrate with external systems

- Developer Education: Self-learning content

The BMC Innovation Suite is immediately available for developers and others to use and build digital service management apps. It is initially offered on the Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform, with future support planned for more cloud services platforms. To drive adoption and support of this new approach, BMC is also launching a BMC Developer Program and a connected ecosystem with access to community-generated apps, re-usable components, and expertise.
