BMC Software, with worldwide revenues of $1.86 billion, is boosting its business development efforts in the Australian and New Zealand markets and says it’s confident of growth in its Australian business despite the tough economic conditions.

BMC has announced that Joely Scott-Thomas has been promoted to regional sales manager for Australia North and New Zealand while Sandrina Branton has joined the company as the regional sales manager for Australia South.
 
Mitchell said Joely joined BMC in 1999 and had held various senior sales and leadership positions, most recently regional sales manager for service, and had played a major part in establishing BMC as a key player in the enterprise software market both locally and regionally.
