Definitions:

Blueprints are templates, a single blueprint can describe one or multiple business services based on the same technical structure. (For example, a service “MS Exchange”, deployed in different environments such as DEV/QA/PRE-PROD/PROD, can be described with one blueprint template.)

SAM ModelApplication models, maps and dependencies created using the S AM (Start Anywhere Modelling) process.

CAM Model: Collaborative Application Mapping (CAM) is a traditional mechanism to create complex maps of applications and their dependencies with detailed TPL.

Country-Specific Staffing: Upon Customer’s request and BMC resource availability, BMC will deviate from BMC’s Standard Delivery model. BMC will work with Customer to understand and address their country-specific staffing requirements. The staffing choice from which country a BMC resource comes from will be mutually agreed to by BMC and Customer.
