A global software solutions leader, BMC, has announced that it will be signing a 5 year strategic collaboration agreement with big tech giant Amazon Web Services.
The aim here is for AWS to help companies better manage and run application workflows and data pipelines across bigger environments.
BMC powers data pipelines for many of the largest companies in the world. Through this agreement it will combine its intelligent automation tools with the scale and agility of AWS. The companies say this will improve how enterprises orchestrate data and workflows across hybrid and cloud environments.
Brian Jones, global VP strategic partnerships at BMC, said in full: “This five-year strategic collaboration agreement with AWS reinforces our commitment to helping customers modernise and innovate with confidence. By combining BMC’s expertise in intelligent automation with the scale and agility of AWS, we’re empowering enterprises to unlock the full value of their data, streamline operations, and accelerate digital transformation.”
How Will Control M And Generative AI Change Data Orchestration?
A big part of the deal is BMC’s Control M platform, which is available through the AWS Marketplace. The platform supports end to end orchestration of data pipelines across complex hybrid infrastructure.
BMC says customers will be able to modernise faster across AWS environments with intelligent guidance, automated insights and context aware recommendations. These features draw on BMC’s generative AI capabilities, including Jett, its generative AI powered adviser built into the Control M platform.
The agreement also brings BMC’s data management and agentic AI capabilities natively onto AWS. The two companies say this will accelerate modernisation and growth through unified orchestration across hybrid, cloud, data and AI workloads.
Allison Johnson, director of Americas technology partnerships at AWS, said in full: “This collaboration empowers organisations to modernise mission-critical workloads with the security, performance, and AI capabilities needed to drive business outcomes. Together, we’re delivering cloud solutions that help customers transform faster and unlock new value from their data.”
What Does This Mean For Customers Such As Air Europa?
Customers across different sectors already use BMC with AWS. One of them is Air Europa, which uses BMC Control M SaaS in its data and analytics operations.
Jose Carlos Bermejo, head of data and analytics at Air Europa, said in full: “BMC Control-M SaaS gives us immediate access to out-of-the-box integrations with Amazon SageMaker, a critical enabler of our Data, ML, and AI roadmap. We look forward to utilising the orchestration and automation innovations through the continued collaboration between BMC and AWS.”
Through Control M SaaS, customers gain access to integrations with AWS services such as Amazon SageMaker. BMC also delivers monthly integrations across application, data and infrastructure categories. These cover AWS services including Amazon Athena, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Elastic Container Service, AWS CloudFormation and AWS Mainframe Modernisation.
BMC recently announced that Control M SaaS is available in the AWS Sydney Region in Australia as well as in Ireland, Canada and the United States. The company says this supports growing global demand for data residency, performance and resiliency.
