BMC Software Positioned in Leaders Quadrant For IT Service Desk by Leading Industry Analyst Firm
HOUSTON, October 20, 2009 – BMC Software (NYSE: BMC) today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Gartner’s latest Magic Quadrant for the IT Service Desk report.* For the report, Gartner evaluated 11 competing vendors based on their relative ability to execute and completeness of vision. The “ability to execute” axis measures a company’s financial viability, market responsiveness and product development. “IT service desk tools and processes help improve the quality of IT service and support delivered to end users, increase business satisfaction and lower the cost of end-user support,” Gartner stated in the report. “In addition, the IT service desk is considered an important function in the ITIL best-practice process frameworks.” According to Gartner, Leaders in the Magic Quadrant are financially viable vendors with a clear vision of how the IT service desk will evolve, and they have a proven track record for delivering service desk solutions. Leaders have had success in all of these areas: significant market share; high degree of visibility; broad geographic presence; integration among incident, problem, change management and CMDB strategies; depth of functionality and industry-leading features that sets them apart from the competition; scalable deployments in very large enterprises; deep understanding of the client's needs in managing a successful IT service desk, in context with ITSM needs; best-practice guidelines and templates to help ensure a successful deployment; leaders do not necessarily offer the best solution for every customer requirement, but their products are strong, overall, with some exceptional capabilities.
