Ø I'd probably get fired if I used something called "BMC Mobility for XXX"
Think of its use on jugs of moonshine rather than pornography, and perhaps that'll go over better. ;-) -David J. Easter Manager of Product Management, Remedy Platform BMC Software, Inc.

Instead, since we're all Remedy folks here, you could use a variable name in the Remedy form, something like $ApplicationName$ would seem less inappropriate.

However, since this acquisition is targeted specifically at the Remedy ITSM Suite, a modifier needed to be put in place to indicate it's associated with Remedy. Thus it is "BMC Mobility for XXX" where XXX is, in this case, IT Service Management (or ITSM). When other mobility solutions are introduced, they'd be associated with their own areas - i.e. the XXX would be the other Suite(s) within BMC. -David J.

I know it isn't Friday, but now that BMC has renamed everything over the past few months ........ Thursday, the new Friday. That being said, an acquisition that makes a lot of sense. ....

"Aeroprise" was good. It was pronounceable. It was memorable. "BMC Mobility for IT Service Management" is forgettable garble.
