Strengthening its position in the small and medium business space!

This acquisition will create a broad portfolio of IT management solutions and services with unparalleled flexibility and choice for mid-sized organizations that typically have 500 to 5,000 employees. BMC’s expanded offering will include the Numara FootPrints product for integrated service and asset management delivered on-premise; the BMC Remedyforce Service Desk solution, the fastest growing IT Service Management SaaS solution; as well as BMC Network Automation as part of the BMC Bladelogic Automation Suite; BMC Atrium Discovery and Dependency Mapping; and BMC End User Experience Management as part of the BMC Application Management Suite.
BMC will now also offer Numara’s widely installed Track-It! help desk and asset management solution for smaller organizations.
BMC and Numara together have a 40% marketshare, making them the absolute number 1 in the Service Management market.

The acquisition of Numara will provide existing SDE users with an upgrade path to an even broader range of functionalities like  patch management, inventory management, compliancy, service catalog etc. BMC Footprints already includes a lot of BSM functionality out of the box with the possibility to expand that functionality with ADDM, End user experience, etc. This means BMC now truly brings Business Service Management (BSM) to the  small and medium market space!

InfraVision's Director of Business & Product Management, Martijn Adams; 'InfraVision is very pleased with this bold expansion of BMC into the medium and small business space. It means that we can provide our customers with even better and more Business Service Management functionalities, tailored to the medium sized businesses. Many of our customers will be able to greatly benefit from this acquisition!'.
