Recently, BMC Software (BMC) won two new deals
from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AtTask that should add to its
revenue stream going forward.
The company delivered a streamlined Application Performance
Management (APM) solution for AWS customers. As per the
latest agreement, BMC Application Diagnostics will become available
in the AWS Marketplace, in a predetermined format, capable of
running on the Red Hat (RHT) Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) platform.
This application of the company has been paired with BMC’s
recently announced Application Performance Management as a Service
(APMaaS) solution, which ultimately delivers deep insight into
complex, multi-tiered application performance.
This application will provide a foundation for enterprise
customers by constructing the RHEL-based applications, which are
expected to run on the Amazon cloud. Following implementation, end
customers will receive a pre-tested and supported solution built by
BMC, which will increase the efficacy of Red Hat applications on
AWS. Thus, the technology will likely reduce risk and accelerate
the delivery process of the cloud-based applications.
Additionally, AtTask, a leading SaaS work management software
provider, selected BMC’s End User Experience Management solution to
enhance user experience, maintain high quality service and gain
knowledge about product improvement.
This particular solution enables the company to look into
customer usages. Post implementation, the company can provide its
customers with up to date information, before they face any
problem, and advise them on how to improve the application.
The popularity of BMC Software's cloud suites are growing. We
also believe that the popularity will encourage the company to grow
its cloud exposure and capitalize on the increasing demand for
cloud computing. Another cloud solution offered by BMC is Cloud
Lifecycle Management.
This has been chosen by several companies in the past few
months, including Thai Airways, cloud services provider Infoplex,
telecom company Swisscom IT Services, JDA Software Group and
Quality Technology Services, and IT outsourcing services provider
CompuCom Systems Inc.
The company has been witnessing constant flow of deals over the
past few quarters. However, weaker expenditure from different
governments and the ongoing European economic turmoil will remain
headwinds in the near term. Moreover, BMC’s weak third-quarter 2013
results have led to downward estimate revisions by most of the
analysts.
Currently, BMC Software has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). However, not
all software companies are performing as badly as BMC. We would
recommend investors to consider Compuware Corp.
(CPWR) and Symantec Corp. (SYMC), which have a
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Another company, CA
Inc. (CA) has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and also looks like a
good investment at this point.
