BMC chairman and CEO Bob Beauchamp said customers are increasingly seeking to build agile, flexible IT infrastructures, whether through cloud computing, SaaS or virtualisation.
"Our ability to meet that demand through the integrated, effective IT management offerings continues to drive our strong momentum," Beauchamp said.
"As we move forward, I believe we will look back on fiscal 2011 as a pivotal year — a year in which BMC transformed from being a strong, moderate growth company to one characterised by sustained, accelerating growth, led by a solid ESM engine capable of delivering ongoing double-digit growth."
