BMC Footprints for Indiana Campus - Analyst Blog

BMC Software Inc. (BMC) recently announced that
it will provide information technology service management (ITSM)
support to the Indiana University for an undisclosed amount.
The University is a public research institution and accommodates
more than 1,30,000 students. With increasing student enrollments,
the institution is facing growing demand for more efficient
information technology (IT) infrastructure. The University sought a
system, which would reorganize data into information and thus
prioritize resources to enable quick decision making. The decision
would, in turn, help the institution to better allocate resources
within the campus.
After evaluating the urgency of its situation, the University found
BMC Software’s FootPrints solution to be suitable. FootPrints is
easy to deploy, maintain and upgrade. The solution facilitates
automated data and process integration thereby improving overall IT
operations. At a glance, the solution will offer support in
effectively managing areas such as service, helpdesk, security and
compliance, lifecycle and desktop.
BMC Footprints’ popularity can be gauged from the continuous
customer wins. The solution has been deployed by State of
Connecticut, The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities,
payroll service provider Cast & Crew, EasyStreet, Hill
International, Seneca College, Ryanair.com, Selex Systems and so
on.
BMC Software inherited this solution from Numara Software, which
was acquired in Jan 2012. With this strategic acquisition, BMC
Software has been able to access more than 13,000 service and asset
management solutions that have enabled it to improve the services
offered. Also, it will help the company to make headway in the SaaS
service desk offering for the fast-growing small and medium
business (SMB) segment in the market going ahead.
The popularity of BMC Software’s ITSM suites is growing. We are
encouraged by the continuous product launches. We also believe that
the company’s growing exposure into the cloud space will prove to
be a catalyst.
However, weak third quarter 2013 results, soft guidance, weaker
expenditure from different governments, ongoing European economic
turmoil and stiff competitive environment pose concerns.
Currently, BMC Software has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). But not all
software companies are performing as badly as BMC. We would
recommend investors to consider Symantec Corp.
(SYMC), which has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). CA
Inc. (CA) and Compuware Corp. (CPWR) have
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and are also performing well.
