BMC Software Acquires ITM Software
June 2008 by Marc Jacob
BMC’s purchase of ITM Software creates a unique, integrated solution that provides customers with a single comprehensive view into project and service portfolios, financials, operations, resources, vendors, compliance and IT demand – all the applications that an IT organization needs to run itself as a true business unit.
The acquisition also strengthens BMC’s capabilities for IT business optimization, offering customers the ability to extract more value from traditional project management tools, asset data, service portfolios and IT budgets to drive decisions across the IT value chain, while ensuring good governance and continuous compliance.
With the increasing adoption of ITIL® V3, which focuses on maximizing IT value for the business and demands a service strategy approach, it is no longer sufficient for IT to run efficiently. It must run more effectively. The integrated BMC and ITM Software solutions address this challenge by enabling IT organizations to manage IT from the perspective of the business and with a comprehensive view and control over the business elements CIOs require.
