Has going private made BMC more innovative? | #BMCDay
Mati Pitkanen knows BMC Software, Inc. like few others. As senior director of worldwide performance and analytics, she has worked for the company in different capacities for two decades.
“I like to say that I was raised by BMC,” Pitkanen said. “In January, I will have been with BMC for 20 years,” she told Stu Miniman and Brian Gracely, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during BMC Day in Boston.
Becoming a private company two years ago was, in Pitkanen’s opinion, the best possible decision the company could have made. She spoke enthusiastically about how the company’s culture has transformed since then. Sans responsibility to shareholders, people with the company feel freer and more able to talk about ideas that are not yet set in stone.
She said that, suddenly, the company is taking risks and innovating, venturing into the DevOps world and so forth. “We just announced support for Docker, so we’re getting into the containerization world,” she noted.
