BMC has hired Dan Streetman as SVP of Worldwide Strategic Sales and Operations.
An expert at developing new programs and guiding organizations through transformational change, Streetman is responsible for BMC’s global strategic sales initiatives, worldwide ecosystem, and sales operations in this newly created role.
Streetman comes to BMC from Salesforce where he was SVP of Worldwide Alliances and Channels Go-to-Market. Streetman has previously held senior sales leadership roles and been chief operating officer for several leading companies, including C3 Energy, Hanson McClain, Amdocs, and Siebel Systems.
“At this time of evolution and growth, Dan’s leadership experience is a tremendous asset to BMC, and I’m thrilled to welcome him to the team,” said Paul Appleby, EVP of Sales and Marketing at BMC. “His background in driving transformational change will enable him to build on our existing success and help us deliver strong growth in the years ahead."
In addition to his broad experience in leading technology companies, Streetman honed his leadership skills during service as a Ranger-qualified Infantry officer. He was awarded the Bronze Star during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and he was also selected by the Army Chief of Staff to receive the Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award. Streetman is a strong proponent of veteran employment, serving as a board advisor to several service organizations, including the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and the Wounded Warrior Project. He is a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and he earned an MBA from Harvard Business School.
“My experience in world-class public and private organizations has reinforced to me the value of leadership. I’m proud to join an industry leader in which 82 percent of the Fortune 500 place their trust,” said Streetman. “BMC’s foundation of product excellence and innovation provides a platform for leadership as a critical partner for companies on their journeys to become digital enterprises.”

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 ...
