Enterprise management solutions company, BMC Software, says it will soon release an integrated suite of identity management solutions.
The announcement follows the completion of BMC`s 100% acquisition of Calendra, a Paris-based private company, for $33 million.
The acquisition is aimed at strengthening BMC`s identity management and business service management (BSM) offerings.
"Identity management is core to BSM and aligning IT with the business," says Arjen Wiersma, country manager for BMC SA.
"Acquiring Calendra extends BMC`s BSM offering beyond user provisioning to provide directory management solutions, Web-based business-centric workflow capabilities and physical asset provisioning," he explains.
"Companies are seeking vendors that are capable of integrating directory management and identity management solutions," says Roberta Witty, a Gartner research analyst.
"An identity management portfolio that includes an integrated workflow is key to becoming more competitive in today`s market," says Witty.
