Comment on Consumers get smart with home automation tech by Brenon Daly

Hi — sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you (WordPress got a bit overwhelmed by spam bots.)
To (finally) answer your question: for ‘smart home monitoring’, think cameras, motion sensors and similar devices that allow users to remotely see what’s going on back at home. (For ex, DropCam.) It is primarily, but not exclusively, security. As a reminder, it was tied for top-ranked choice, with slightly more than half of our respondents indicating they planned to use it.
Hope that helps.
regards,
Brenon

Comment on After 25 years as a public company, BMC gets so-so exit in take-private by Brenon Daly

Marc — your old shop is a prime candidate, no doubt. Would put them No. 2 in line, behind CPWR. (A smart buyout group could make a tidy return splitting off CPWR’s APM assets from old-line mainframe business.) Just another reminder that tech is getting older every day…
