Grazed from BusinessWire. Author: PR Announcement.

CompuCom Systems, Inc., the leading IT outsourcing specialist, has formed a strategic relationship with BMC Software (NASDAQ: BMC) to deliver the business benefits of cloud computing and accelerate the speed with which a client can realize its value.

The cloud is not just an IT strategy; it is a business strategy. Organizations have many things to consider as they contemplate migrating applications and services from traditional data center environments to a cloud delivery model. CompuCom’s 25-year history of building intimacy with clients while maintaining technical excellence was the catalyst to incorporate BMC’s industry-leading orchestration and automation platform into the company’s innovative IT Service Management model…

As cloud adoption grows from initial implementations to broad business use, BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management (CLM) can shoulder the burden of legacy and virtual production workloads. To facilitate a complete cloud service lifecycle, BMC presents end-users with a straightforward “shopping cart” portal and provisions complete, configurable applications. The result is a cloud where everything is intelligently placed and governed according to policies within the environment. Integrated seamlessly with BMC Cloud Operations Management, BMC CLM ensures the cloud is both built for strength and operated for efficiency and service quality.

“CompuCom’s commitment to integrate across the enterprise combined with BMC’s Cloud Lifecycle Management allows us to deliver a complete, mature solution resulting in accurate chargeback, self-service provisioning, dynamic workload reallocation, and bursting to public cloud environments,” stated John Conner, senior vice president, ITO service and cloud sales for CompuCom.

“We believe the strong credentials and cultural fit of our two organizations will bring significant benefits to clients who want to change the way they do the business of IT,” said Ed Anderson, CompuCom’s chief strategy officer.

Kia Behnia, BMC’s chief technology officer, said: “As customers move to migrate business applications and services to a cloud delivery model, it is critically important to stay focused on the business imperatives and not ‘get lost’ in the IT. Working together, BMC and CompuCom will increase the strategic business value of cloud computing and the speed with which customers can achieve it.”
