Creating Resource-Focused Features for a Software Company’s Corporate Website 
A new experience and platform to support global marketing and developer materials for BMC Software 
SNAPSHOT
BMC Software needed to update their website with an enterprise-grade Adobe Marketing Cloud integration without impacting their vital public-facing customer resources. They turned to BRINK to take on technology stewardship and architect and develop a solution on a strict, sprint-based project schedule. The solution engineered by BRINK enabled BMC to not only update their Adobe platform, but also to scale the availability of marketing materials to support a wide range of audiences.

CLIENT
BMC Software provides IT management services that support 86% of the Forbes Global 50 and customers and partners around the world. They have been recognized as an ITSM Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for eight years running. 
SITUATION
BRINK replaced an existing vendor who was leading the Adobe Experience Manager upgrade for BMC Software. This meant that BMC Software had a preexisting UI toolkit, code base, budget, and timeline that needed to be honored. Additionally, the AEM update was part of a larger program context that involved multiple teams working in parallel.  
Key Challenges
  • Redesign the project plan set by original vendor without impacting budget
  • Meet condensed timelines set by a previous vendor
  • Work nimbly with team members coordinating parallel workstreams
  • Operate within the existing AEM component structure
  • Leverage an existing UI toolkit and code base to meet client needs
WHY BRINK
BMC selected BRINK thanks to our team’s deep expertise in Adobe Experience Manager. Also highly valued was the ability for BRINK to fold organically into BMC’s operation and work strategically within a pre-defined workflow without breaking their existing cadence.

Executing Client Goals with Agility and Precision 

Newly responsible for the dev work behind the AEM upgrade, BRINK was able to walk a delicate balance between maintaining the original development goals and refining the project plan itself.
