Indra and BMC Software, a leading company in the development of Business Service Management (BSM) solutions, have strengthened their alliance to offer innovative IT operations management and consulting services throughout the world, including the most advanced technologies in the field of Cloud Computing models.

As part of this strategy, Indra has reached the BMC Elite partnership category, which is the highest level as a reseller, for Spain, Portugal and Latin America. Indra is also one of the first companies to enter its Consulting Services Partner Program (CSPP). This certification initially applies to the field of IT service management solutions (ITSM) for EMEA. The objective is to gradually expand both certifications to all the countries that are strategic for both companies. As a result, Indra will be able to include in the IT management projects of its customers all the benefits offered by the solutions portfolio of BMC, one of the "Big-Four" for these tools.

"One third of Indra's business is based on managed services and one of the keys is to have a suite of tools that supports business operations in a reliable manner, which is why we have selected BMC for our operations and projects. The Elite category and the consulting certification recognise us as a reference in Business Service Management (BSM) projects thanks to our consulting capabilities, integration and implementation of tools throughout the world," said Myriam Blázquez, Director of Outsourcing Business Development at Indra.

In addition, BMC has joined the Indra Global Alliance Network (IGAN) that brings together the multinational consulting and technology firm's strategic partners.

The company is present in more than 45 countries throughout the five continents, and it is one of the four most important information technology companies in Latin America. Additionally, in recent years it has promoted its presence in regions such as Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

According to Eduardo Rodríguez, channel director at BMC for Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa, "Indra is an excellent partner with a combination of talent, innovation and ability to execute the most complicated projects in the world thanks to its unmistakable quality brand."
