Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2000

The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Max Watson, CEO of BMC Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:BMCS), in which he talks at length about the company's future.

This interview is part of a special 391-page Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Annual Technology Conference issue from The Wall Street Transcript featuring thirteen leading analysts and top management from one hundred and nine sector firms available at http://www.twst.com/info/info216.htm

Watson gives an overview of the company. "We are in what loosely could be described as the systems management business. For the last several years we have been really involved in e-business management, and we manage complex IT infrastructures."

Looking forward, Watson states, "Complex business infrastructures are being tied together via the Internet, tied together electronically. These exchanges will provide corporations or enterprises with a great opportunity to reduce their cost, to have faster cycle times, and to really engage better with their customers. I think that's a big business shift, and we're seeing that on a global basis. For us, I think it really plays to our core strengths."
