Telefónica Tech and BMC to bring blockchain to Data Workflows

, Telefónica’s digital business unit, and , a global leader in software solutions for the Autonomous Digital Enterprise, announced today an agreement to integrate blockchain capabilities into the BMC Helix Control-M platform using Telefónica Tech’s TrustOS service.

TrustOS is the key component in Telefónica Tech’s blockchain offering that easily connects existing IT solutions to blockchain capabilities. With the solution, companies don’t have to invest time and resources training employees on how to use blockchain.

The BMC Helix Control-M solution is a SaaS platform that simplifies the integration, automation, and orchestration of highly complex enterprise application and data workflows. BMC Helix Control-M production workflows deliver companies’ critical business services. Integrating with the TrustOS traceability module, which records specific critical steps as digital assets throughout blockchain, adds immutable proof of execution timing and turns files and documents handled by the platform into completely trusted assets.

In addition to giving workflows end-to-end traceability, users can certify any of the files managed at specific points in the process guaranteeing no changes or modifications are made once it is certified. TrustOS adds probative value to those certificates and allows users to verify the existence and non-alteration of the documents at a given time. This is accomplished with pre-packaged functions available through the integrated services of TrustOS and the BMC Helix Control-M solution.

José Luis Núñez, head of the Blockchain business at Telefónica Tech, said: “The goal of TrustOS is to simplify the way companies interact with blockchain networks. The inclusion of new TrustOS-enabled modules in BMC Helix Control-M goes one step further, enabling users to add trust to workflows and evidentiary capacity to documents writing 0 lines of code.”

“This new integration between BMC Helix Control-M and Telefónica Tech’s TrustOS blockchain capability is a great added-value example of what our long-standing partnership with Telefonica in Spain brings to customers,” said Gur Steif, president of Digital Business Automation at BMC.  “We are very pleased Telefónica can offer our BMC Helix Control-M SaaS platform, now supporting TrustOS blockchain use cases, to help customers drive their digital business modernization efforts.”
