Headquartered in Houston, Texas, BMC develops, markets and sells software used for multiple functions, including IT service management, data center automation, performance management, virtualization lifecycle management and cloud computing management. The name "BMC" is taken from the surnames of its three founders — Scott Boulette, John Moores, and Dan Cloer. Employing over 6,900 people, BMC is often credited with pioneering the Business Service Management BSM concept as a way to help better align IT operations with business needs.〔Garbani, Jean-Pierre and O'Neill, Peter. "The IT Management Software Megavendors", ''Forrester Research'', August 12, 2009.〕 For 2011, the company recorded an annual revenue of $2.1 billion, making it the 20th largest software company in the world measured by revenue. In September 2013, BMC Software was acquired by a group of private investors in a privatization process. These investors included Bain Capital, Golden Gate Capital, Insight Venture Partners, GIC Private Limited's GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd and Elliott Management Corporation. ==1970s and 1980s== During the late 1970s, BMC Software founders Scott Boulette, John J. Moores, and Dan Cloer began a contract programming partnership. All three were employed at Shell Oil as software developers. In 1980, the company incorporated in the state of Texas and officially became BMC Software.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = NASDAQ (secfilings.nasdaq.com) )〕 John Moores was selected as the company's first CEO. The firm primarily wrote software for IBM mainframe computers, the industry standard at the time. During those years, BMC wrangled with IBM about issues such as "software tie-in claims". IBM and BMC were involved in litigation." In 1987, Moores was succeeded by Richard A. Hosley II as CEO and President. In July 1988, BMC was re-incorporated in Delaware and went public with an initial public offering for BMC stock.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate =September 7, 2009 )〕 The first day of trading was August 12, 1988.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Hoover's )〕 From that time until its privatization, BMC filed quarterly and annual statements with the SEC.〔 Annual stockholder meetings are typically held in Houston during July or August. The stock was originally traded on NASDAQ under the symbol BMCS, then on the New York Stock Exchange with symbol BMC. BMC programmers received commissions for their designs since the beginning of the firm. As a cost-saving measure from the early days of the company, sales were handled via direct mail and telemarketing. In 1991, BMC placed one-quarter of pretax revenues into the budget for research and development. The employees at the headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas often wore Hawaiian shirts rather than business suits.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BMC Software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
