Case Study: Morningstar achieves 10X efficiency with BMC Software's cloud automation

Morningstar gains 10X efficiency with cloud automation to promote over 480,000 investment offerings

Morningstar, an investment research firm managing over 480,000 investment offerings, needed to increase efficiency and productivity after monitoring, workflow, and automation issues undermined performance. To improve reliability, developer velocity, and the customer experience, the company moved its SaaS infrastructure to the cloud.

Using BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management with BMC Atrium Discovery & CMDB, BladeLogic Server Automation, and BMC Remedy ITSM to automate and manage both cloud and legacy systems, Morningstar achieved 10x efficiency and 90% faster provisioning. Environment build time dropped from 520 to 32 hours (expansions from 128 to 12 hours), compliance with SOX and PCI DSS is automated, security and stability improved, and legacy systems can continue running during the cloud transition.
