Organizations are under constant pressure to accelerate digital transformation, manage increasing complexity, and deliver business value faster while addressing skills shortages and data-driven decision-making challenges. BMC, a global leader in software solutions enabling business faster than humanly possible, has announced a series of AI innovations across its Control-M workload automation and BMC AMI mainframe portfolios.

  • AI Workflow Creator acts as a generative AI copilot, allowing business users to design sophisticated workflows using natural language, shifting automation ownership from IT to domain experts.
  • Expanded integrations with AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Crew AI enable orchestration of multiple AI agents for complex, AI-centric workflows within Control-M.
  • Event-Driven Workflows provide real-time responsiveness by listening to events from systems like Kafka, Amazon SQS, and RabbitMQ to trigger or adjust workflows dynamically.
  • Knowledge Expert Chat embeds AI-driven guidance across nine BMC AMI solutions, delivering natural-language answers from BMC documentation and domain expertise at no extra cost.
  • Knowledge Hub (currently in managed beta) surfaces institutional knowledge for AI interactions, reducing dependency on individuals and strengthening operational resilience.
  • BMC AMI zAdviser Development Team Analysis consolidates DevOps telemetry into unified narrative reports to identify risks, knowledge concentration, and improvement priorities.

These innovations embed intelligence directly into everyday workflows, democratizing access to complex automation, preserving institutional knowledge, and enabling faster, more informed decisions across hybrid and mainframe environments.

"AI is rapidly democratizing access to complex workflows and also supports the continued advancement of the mainframes that power the world's largest organizations," said Ram Chakravarti, chief technology officer at BMC. "We're removing technical barriers by letting people describe what they need in plain language, taking the mystery out of automation and closing the gap between a good idea and a working solution. Our AI innovations for the mainframe help our customers build a resilient and continuously advancing mainframe, and help them advance their digital transformations."

"As organizations push to move faster while managing increasing complexity, we're seeing growing demand for AI capabilities that embed intelligence directly into everyday workflows. Rather than standing apart as isolated tools, these AI-driven approaches help teams translate intent into action, contextualize system behavior, and surface relevant expertise at the moment it's needed," said Steven Dickens, CEO and principal analyst of HyperFRAME Research. "The result is faster decision-making, reduced friction across operations, and more resilient, business-aligned automation across the enterprise."

The updates build on BMC's commitment to connecting people, systems, and data to unlock human and machine potential, empowering nearly 80% of the Forbes Global 100 to drive innovation and sustainable success.

Additional details on the full array of new features are available in BMC's announcement resources, including dedicated pages for automation and mainframe-specific capabilities.
