Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) is using management and automation solutions from
BMC Software (NASDAQ:BMC) to help transform the company from a
traditional packaged software company to one that is moving all of its
products – and its renowned customer experience – to the cloud.
Today, Adobe IT is credited with helping to turning the company into the
global leader in digital marketing and digital media solutions. In the
attached video,
two senior Adobe IT leaders -- Gary Simpson and Paulette Scheffer --
describe the challenges Adobe faced, why they chose BMC as Adobe's
strategic partner, and the powerful results Adobe has achieved as they
enable their customers to create, deploy, measure, and optimize
groundbreaking digital content.
Supporting Perspectives from the Video:
Gary Simpson, vice president, Global Infrastructure and Operations,
Adobe
“We’re transforming IT. We have been for the past three years. It
completely changes our support model. We look to BMC for the tools that
we need to manage that and to become more of a service provider.”
“One of our focuses this year actually is on agile operations. And with
agility comes quality, and that’s very important. We use many of the BMC
tools that help us automate a lot of the day-to-day things that we do,
and we’re doing it very successfully.”
Paulette Scheffer, senior director, Infrastructure and Service
Management, Adobe
“One of the things that the BMC tools have enabled us to do is to
actually be able to provision capacity either in our private cloud or go
out to the public cloud, so users don’t have to make that choice
anymore. They can come into our portal. They can identify what their
needs are, and then we make the decision based on what they’re trying to
do.”
“My view is that if another provider can do it better or cheaper than we
can, we should use them. But if they can’t, we shouldn’t. BMC tools have
enabled us to do is actually provide those competing or compelling
services internally, and we can actually prove we’re able to do it at a
lower cost. Now the reason we chose BMC was because we felt that BMC
offered us a suite that was more integrated out of the box than any
other solution on the market.”
“As I look into the future, when we think about BMC and BMC’s place in
Adobe IT, it’s only going to become, I’d say, more embedded in
everything we do. When I look at the team and I see where they are, and
I hear the comments from them about [BMC Software] has helped us achieve
more than we ever thought possible, there’s nothing that makes me
prouder.”
