SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 29, 2012) - [ ServiceSource® ] (NASDAQ: [ SREV ]), the global leader in [ Service Revenue Management ], today announced a new alliance with [ BMC Software ] (NASDAQ: [ BMC ]), the recognized leader in Business Service Management, designed to optimize recurring service revenue performance. BMC's Enterprise Service Management (ESM) organization plans to deploy the ServiceSource solution in select territories in Europe, Asia and Latin America to help increase the performance of its software license renewals program.

BMC strives to improve operational efficiencies, develop recurring revenue streams and deliver a high quality customer experience. The partnership with ServiceSource will enable BMC to manage its renewals business more cost-effectively while increasing recurring service revenue and customer satisfaction.

"We needed a way to significantly increase our software and service renewal rates and had to decide between building the program ourselves or working with a Service Revenue Management company to address the problem," said Christophe Bodin, vice-president and general manger, BMC Customer Support and Maintenance. "After evaluating the economics, ease-of-implementation and data management capabilities of ServiceSource, the choice was easy. They have a proven track record of working with industry-leading brands to enable a consistent customer experience that ultimately drives incremental recurring revenue much quicker than we could do on our own."

BMC will deploy ServiceSource cloud applications for Service Revenue Management to connect and support BMC's global renewals ecosystem, powered by deep business intelligence on renewals data and installed base customers. BMC will also benefit from a decade of benchmarks, best practices and key performance indicators for renewals. This comprehensive cloud platform works in conjunction with a dedicated team of renewal sales experts across multiple languages.

"We are the only company in the world to offer a comprehensive Service Revenue Management solution built on a world-class technology platform to customers on a pay-for-performance basis," said Mike Smerklo, chief executive officer of ServiceSource. "We're helping industry leaders like BMC enable higher-recurring service revenue performance with a greater focus on serving the needs of customers."
