Chris I am in the same boat as you. Looking at moving everything to 7.5. Did not know there was going to be an ITSM 7.6. It has been released on the BMC website. Brian

But primarily the new version centers around implementing further simplified best practice views - which started with Service Desk in ITSM 7.5.x - and additional KPI & ROI reporting/dashboards. -David J.

Or are they re-designing it yet again, meaning that the interfaces and blocks of code in the plumbing will change too? Or, is 7.6 just 7.5 with better integration to the non-Remedy applications in the BMC arsenal (which would imply even more changes to the Atrium Core)? It would be helpful to know that while we are trying to plan for an upgrade or migration from 7.1/7.0.3 to 7.5/7.5 within the next 6 months. Code quality, or lack thereof in the upgrade installers, has already delayed that into or past the fall semester.

I posted a blog entry about this on BMC DN: http://communities.bmc.com/communities/community/bmcdn/bmc_atrium_and_fo undation_technologies/bmc_remedy_ar_system/blog/2009/01/21/company-brand -product-version---why-all-are-important-to-keep-straight Several BMC Remedy applications will soon be revisioning to a version of 7.6. For example, applications within the ITSM suite of products (Change Management, Asset Management, Service Desk) will be revisioning collectively as BMC Remedy ITSM 7.6. Other applications may also revision to a version 7.6 over the next several months. AR System is not revisioning to version 7.6 in that same time frame. AR System will remain at version 7.5.00 until the next major release - which is tentatively scheduled to occur in mid 2010. The tentative numbering for the next AR System release is 8.0.00. When AR System 8.0.00 releases, then AR System 7.0.01 would become unsupported. When AR System 8.0.00 releases, the supported AR System versions would then be 8.0.00, 7.5.00 and 7.1.00. 7.1.00 would be the C-2 release and thus be in "limited support" as per the BMC Product Support Policy. -David J.
