(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070410/AQTU049LOGO) generationE's sales growth of over 200% in a five year span and recent market expansion into new geographies have been primarily due to their business in the IBM Service Management domain. "I am impressed with generationE's significant commitment to both IBM and the Service Management market where they have a strong record of customer success and innovation," comments Bob Jones, VP of Software Sales, Tivoli Americas, IBM.
"Advancement in platform technologies together with strategic acquisitions by the major software providers has finally enabled serious solution providers to provide a fully integrated set of Service Management and Service Assurance solutions by a single vendor," said Casey Kindiger, CEO of generationE Technologies. The decision to sell the BMC practice to TuringSMI Group Limited, a leading global provider of BMC Business Service Management solutions, came after thorough evaluation of a strategy that would allow generationE to focus on the IBM Tivoli market. It is also strongly felt to be in the best interests of the company's BMC Remedy customers and employees. "I am confident that the combination of generationE's talented group of Remedy professionals and TuringSMI's proven success will deliver continued value to our BMC customers," noted Kindiger. The acquisition, expected to close in less than 40 days, will see TuringSMI take complete responsibility for generationE's extensive BMC customer base.
