Today I am honored to announce the appointment of Ali Siddiqui to president, BMC Helix. Ali is a well-respected leader in Silicon Valley for over three decades. He was a driver in the industry adoption of cloud and the move to software-as-a-service (SaaS), as well as a pioneer in AIOps and ServiceOps. Starting in April 2025, Ali will lead the BMC Helix organization to increase their focus on accelerating innovation, customer value realization, and the application of AI in our digital service and operations management business to continue the company’s growth trajectory.

In my role as president and CEO of BMC and executive chairman for BMC Helix, I will work very closely with Ali to ensure that we structure the two companies to capitalize on the synergies and support each business’ unique profile and characteristics in growth, profile, margins, and competitive landscape. And I look forward to working with the new BMC leadership team to define the future for Control-M and the SaaS offering of Control-M, as well as build on the strength of our BMC AMI portfolio for the mainframe.

As announced on October 9, 2024, our planning is well underway and with Ali taking on his new role, we are on track to begin the process of standing up two companies in early 2025.

Each company will be laser focused on the success of our customers and partners through the transition and into the future through deeper specialization and stronger industry focus. The most important consideration through the entire transition process is our customers’ and partners’ success. We will ensure business continuity and proceed with the best interests of our customers, partners, and employees in mind.

Thank you for being a part of the journey – it only gets better from here!

Sincerely,
/Ayman
