BMC Wins New Order from U.S. Navy - Analyst Blog

Yet again, BMC Software (BMC) won a new order
from the U.S. Navy. After a look at the available products in the
market, the U.S. Navy selected the company’s BMC Remedy IT Service
Management Suite leading to better management of the company’s IT
capabilities.
The BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite has been accepted by
companies across the globe as it offers a comprehensive and
scalable solution at a lower cost. This product will now deliver a
single software solution to the NAVY 311, which will be centrally
managed by the technology company but the implementation of this
new technology will de-centralize the network of fleet support
providers. After the implementation of the suite, the navy would be
able to lower its technology cost to a considerable extent.
The analytics solution offered by BMC will help improve
decisions on persistent problems by offering enhanced business
intelligence. The analytics solution will help to “push” critical
information to different customer groups in order to make decisions
like planned expenditure and operations. This is a viable business
proposition for BMC as it allows the company to earn revenue on a
recurring basis.
BMC has been providing solutions to many companies. It recently
delivered a streamlined Application Performance Management (APM)
solution for AWS customers. BMC’s Application Diagnostics will
become available in the AWS Marketplace, in a predetermined format,
which will ultimately run on the Red Hat
(RHT) Enterprise Linux (RHEL) platform.
This apart, the company has also provided solutions to Thai
Airways, Infoplex Telecom Company, Swisscom IT Services, JDA
Software Group and Quality Technology Services, as well as IT
outsourcing services provider CompuCom Systems Inc.
Deal wins are visible as this is the fourth consecutive deal won
by the company in 2013, adding value to the company’s revenue, but
weaker technology expenditure by different governments and ongoing
European economic turmoil will remain headwinds in the near
term.
Again, a different cause for concern would be the use of the
open source software by different companies. Although BMC has been
successful in incorporating some open source software in its
product portfolio, it has not been able to add substantially to its
business volume. Currently, BMC Software has a
Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
We would recommend investors to consider Compuware
Corp. (CPWR), Symantec Corp. (SYMC), and
CA Inc. (CA). While Symantec carries a Zacks Rank
#1 (Strong Buy), Compuware and CA carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
