TUCON®, San Francisco, April 30, 2008 - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced that BMC Software will embed TIBCO ActiveMatrix™ in its Business Service Management (BSM) platform.

Spanning enterprise systems, applications, databases and service management, BSM empowers the world's largest and most sophisticated companies to automate their IT and align it with the needs of the business.
