Newly-unveiled Digital Enterprise strategy positions BMC as an industry Pace Setter

BEIJING, October 27, 2015 - BMC, the global leader in software solutions for IT, today announced that industry veteran Keith Chan has been appointed BMC Greater China Country Manager, effective in September.

Reporting to BMC Asia Pacific President Gavin Selkirk, Chan will be responsible for leading all aspects of building a strong competitive position for BMC throughout the vast Greater China region.

His appointment follows BMC's annual user conference in Las Vegas, where the company unveiled a new wave of Digital Enterprise solutions. These solutions empower enterprises to discover valuable insights into digital service performance, improve productivity among employees, reduce security weaknesses and cut costs normally associated with maintaining mainframe infrastructure.

Selkirk said, 'Keith's richness of experience makes him the ideal executive to provide management team leadership and to help bring our Digital Enterprise strategy to life in Greater China. Building a strong competitive position for BMC in this crucially-important market will require him to engineer productive interaction with customers and maintain an unwavering strategic focus.'

Chan joins BMC from McAfee, where he served as general manager for China, as well as North Asia Channel Director, to drive growth and go-to-market strategies. His task included restructuring commercial operations while developing channel sales to expand business in Greater China.

During an earlier career with IBM that spanned 23 years, Chan held a succession of senior posts before becoming General Manager, Greater China, to lead marketing strategy for the company.

Chan said: 'I'm pleased to be joining BMC. The company's newly-unveiled Digital Enterprise Management strategy has been designed to make digital transformation fast, seamless and optimised from mainframe to mobile, cloud and beyond - and positions BMC as an industry role model.'

Chan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science and Management Science from the University of Keele in the U.K.
