A February 2nd 8-K filing by BMC http://tinyurl.com/yax23u3 indicates the Dev Ittycheria is out. Bob Beauchamp will again take up the task of leading the Enterprise Service Management (ESM) side of the business, i.e. all non-mainframe-focused products. We're assuming Dev will return to the entrepreneurial roots where he performed so well.
There are a number of conclusions that could be drawn from this change ranging from the fate of the Cisco partnership to, well, just think of the rumors that have swirled around BMC over the last 2 years. Speculation on internal politics is risky and ultimately pointless. We'll stick to conclusions based on our own experiences with and knowledge of the company.
For our part, we anticipate a return to aggressive support and advancement of BSM. We think that BMC will move away from concentrating on BSM as strictly a marketing concept. It presages a return to the aggressive thought and product leadership in defining and implementing BSM that has been historically demonstrated by BMC. The result will be increased competition that will benefit both customers and IT.
Personally, we're happy to see this change. We think the coming year will prove to be much more interesting and action filled as a result.
