BMC Press Release Quotes
Intent to Acquire BladeLogic

Bob Beauchamp Quote/Audio Commentary

“Organizations around the world will spend more than $140 billion dollars this year running data centers,” said Bob Beauchamp, BMC’s president and chief executive officer. “Automation is the only way IT can bring this spending under control and still meet the reliability and time-to-market requirements of their businesses. BMC’s acquisition of BladeLogic will create the new IT Service Automation leader, unique in its ability to provide these critical capabilities. It is a natural and very significant next step in our vision of Business Service Management.”
