Enterprises continue investing in business service management (BSM) projects despite economic recession. The BSM vendor landscape has changed significantly since 2007, with only seven of 20 vendors from a 2007 Forrester Wave still offering BSM solutions. Vendors are categorized as offering strategic IT transformation programs, BSM reporting solutions, service catalog management solutions, or transaction management solutions. Leading vendors for strategic programs include BMC Software, CA, HP Software, and IBM. Vendors focusing on reporting include ASG, CA, Compuware, Efecte, FireScope, IBM, Nimsoft, Novell, and USU.
