MELBOURNE, Australia, March 9, 2010 – Monash University, Australia’s most internationalized university, has selected BMC Software’s (NASDAQ: BMC) Business Service Management (BSM) platform to support a major information and communication technology (ICT) shared services initiative.

Monash is working with BMC to bring disparate service management environments onto a single shared platform. The new platform will manage IT services for more than 50,000 students across six Victorian campuses.
