BMC completes acquisition of Compuware
to mainstream mainframe DevOps
BMC, a global leader in IT solutions for
the autonomous digital enterprise,
has announced the close of its acquisition
of Compuware, a leading provider of
mainframe application development,
delivery and performance solutions.
The strategic combination of the two
companies builds on the success of BMC
Automated Mainframe Intelligence (AMI) and
Compuware’s Topaz suite, ISPW technology
and classic product portfolios to modernise
clients’ mainframe environments. BMC with
Compuware now enables automation and
intelligent operations with agile development
and delivery – empowering the nextgeneration
of mainframe developers and
operations teams to excel when working
with mainframe programming languages,
applications, data, infrastructure and security.
“Adding Compuware’s Topaz software
development environment to the BMC
portfolio is another step in the direction of
targeting the enterprise developer. With
Topaz, developers take a modern approach
to building, testing and deploying mainframe
applications. This move should allow BMC
to spread the word that modern tools
matter for the mainframe engineer,” wrote
Christopher Condo, Chris Gardner and Diego
Lo Giudice at Forrester Research.
Fifty percent of respondents in a 2019
Forrester study shared that they plan to
grow their use of the mainframe over the
next two years and 93% of respondents in
the 2019 BMC Mainframe Survey believe in
the long-term and new workload strength of
the platform. •
