Check out Yurbi at www.yurbi.com it supports ITSM as well as Custom ARS applications and any other database, csv, excel, or API source you have data. It's in the breed of modern self-service, agile BI tools and comes without all the upfront and ongoing costs associated with Business Objects and older, legacy BI tools.
http://www.yurbi.com/solutions/bmc-itsm-remedy/ For the custom app you mention, Yurbi Community is free for 1 data source, so you could have 2 users use Yurbi to build an unlimited number of reports and dashboards and share up to 5 of those for absolutely free.
