Beauchamp, 41, has been with BMC since 1988 and most recently held the position, senior VP - product management and development. Beauchamp has served in a variety of key positions during his 12 years with the company, including senior VP of research and development, VP of strategic marketing and corporate development, and various sales and sales management positions.
Watson comments: "I have been discussing for sometime with the board the possibility of reducing my duties at BMC Software and have assisted the board in its search for a new president and CEO. I believe the timing is right. As our December quarter results indicate, we are headed in the right direction and making real progress in positioning the company for the future. After interviewing candidates, both internally and externally, the board concluded that clearly the best individual to lead BMC is Bob Beauchamp. Bob has been instrumental in helping BMC to develop the technologies and solutions to meet the needs of our customers."

The great culture and working environment at BMC Software is a tribute to his leadership style."
