"I think that BMC is going in absolutely in the right direction" with the product, said Richard Ptak, principal analyst at Ptak, Noel & Associates. "They put a lot of effort into understanding just exactly what it is that the customers need [and what] their enterprises need, and [are] putting it together in a format that's immediately usable by their customer base."

The suite, Ptak said, "bridges the alignment gap between technology-oriented IT processes and business processes."

Control-M Business Process Integration Suite is available now, with prices starting at US$15,000.
