John, I believe the fundamental question is whether Kinetic would ever be for sale, not whether BMC would want to swallow them.
I believe that Kinetic will not be ever for sale, they have a solid road map of products. Why sale when you're doing great? I mean the only kind of people that would sell Kinetic would be wall street sharks (if they owned it) to cash in fast and furious, and retire in the Cayman islands, after hiding all the money in a swiss bank to avoid paying taxes.... The owners of Kinetic are diametrically the opposite of that Guillaume ________________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [[email protected]] on behalf of John Baker [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2012 4:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Kinetic Request at WalMart Guillaume, > Will BMC buy Kinetic? hmmmm When a company is not very good at something, it's often quicker to buy a good solution than spend the same amount of money trying to build your own and running the risk of failing. I don't have enough experience to compare BMC SRM to Kinetic SRM, but one of those companies is agile and able to quickly respond to change, and the other is less so. If I were advising a corporate client who was procuring an SRM system, I would rate service, ability to respond to change and quality support more than brand and size.
