One of the “fun” parts of the trip was that my colleague and I went into the BMCtv studios and shot some video.  I did this before, about 3 years ago, and the video (here) has always garnered me name and face recognition whenever I bump into CONTROL-M folks.

This time around we were talking about BSM and the BMC support structure.  I snapped a shot of my colleague Jerry up on the monitors in the control room.  First, it’s amazing at all the gadgets and equipment they had in here – second this was all being filmed in high definition so the price tag for the equipment was pretty steep.  They were telling us one of the studio cameras cost over $100,000! 

I’m impressed with the quality of work they do – and it’s great to see a company like BMC that is willing to invest in this type of technology to help “get the word out” about the products and offerings. 

As I was walking down the hall at BMC up on one of their display walls they had my video from about 3 years ago playing for CONTROL-M.  I couldn’t help but grab a shot of myself!  I guess you could say that I finally got my “5 minutes of fame” – after all, how many people get to see themselves up on 6 different screens at the same time!
