BMC announced Control-M 9, the latest version of its industry leading workload automation solution, which accelerates application time-to-value while simultaneously delivering stability, lowering operating costs, and increasing enterprise application services performance.
BMC’s Control-M 9 is a part of BMC’s Digital Enterprise Management strategy designed to make digital business fast and seamless and optimize every environment from mainframe to mobile to cloud.
High-speed IT innovation requires companies to deliver continuous application availability while simultaneously maintaining stability, control, and enterprise application services performance. The Control-M 9 solution enables competitive advantage by providing both IT operations and application developers with a new way to collaborate by automatically promoting application workflows across the stages of development through production with built-in stability and production performance.
“Control-M 9 is a game changer for companies that must deliver high-speed IT digital innovation,” said Gur Steif, President, BMC Workload Automation. “Our new automated application promotion gives the Ops and AppDev teams a friction-free way to meet their simultaneous need for speed and stability. With a host of other innovations that reduce total cost of ownership and improve business value, Control-M 9 delivers better bottom line business results.”
The Control-M 9 solution continues to improve workload automation services’ performance, usability, and cost reduction. New capabilities include risk-reducing high availability, out-of-the-box single view predictive analytics across the enterprise, automated agent and client deployment for faster upgrades, and maintenance, and improved data security. The solution also provides native interface capability to any application with Application Integrator, open platform support for JDBC-compliant databases, and a native interface for Apache Spark, complementing the Control-M solution’s leading position in native Big Data application integration support.
“Control-M 9 offers BMC’s customers an important set of enhanced automation capabilities that enable both IT operations and application developer teams to simplify and streamline complex business process workflows and data transformations,” said Mary Johnston Turner, Research VP for Enterprise Systems Management at IDC. “Control-M 9 is a vital part of BMC’s broader Digital Enterprise Management portfolio. By enabling customers to reduce operational complexity and cost-effectively link traditional compute platforms with emerging cloud and mobile applications, Control-M 9 will help many organizations execute their digital business strategies while continuing to maximize the value of existing applications and infrastructure.”

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
