BMC offers SaaS-based and on-premises software and services in areas including cloud computing, IT service management, automation, IT operations, and mainframe. The company was founded in Houston, Texas, by former Shell Oil employees Scott Boulette, John J. Moores, and Dan Cloer, whose surname initials were adopted as the company name BMC Software. BMC Software began as a mainframe-only software vendor, but since the middle 1990s has been developing software to monitor, manage and automate both distributed and mainframe systems. The company specializes in enterprise software and develops products used for multiple functions, including IT service management, data center automation, performance management, virtualization lifecycle management and cloud computing management. The company continues to provide support for enterprises using modern mainframes through providing automated intelligence, a process that creates mainframe systems that are self-managing. Self-managing mainframes use machine learning to improve efficiency by anticipating needs, sending alarms, and taking actions without the need for manual actions from IT departments.
