CUSTOMER SUCCESS: BMC Software Helps IDG Informationsverarbeitung und Dienstleistungen GmbH Manage Exploding Demand for Data Services

HOUSTON, May 18, 2009 – Faced with exploding demand for business and data services, IDG GmbH -- the IT Services division of one of Germany’s leading insurances companies, Gothaer Insurance Group -- has leveraged the power of BMC Software’s (NYSE: BMC) Mainframe Service Management solutions to deliver always-on availability of mission-critical business data. The details of IDG’s success with BMC solutions is documented in a new case study published on www.bmc.com.

IDG is committed to providing Gothaer and its more than 9,000 users with highly-effective technology solutions. Backup and recovery is at the forefront of IDG’s success, but with the company operating a demanding Monday through Saturday business schedule, there is limited downtime in their batch window to conduct backup and recovery.

Since using the BMC Recovery Management for DB2® product , the company has:

Helped ensure recoverability and reduce technical and business exposures;
Gained 90 minutes of backup time by eliminating the time dedicated to image copy;
Eliminated the need to copy 60 percent of tables; and
Streamlined the recovery management process, ensured consistent activity across related databases, and increased speed of recovery-utility processing.
