Overview The Bank of Montreal, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, provides financial services in personal, commercial, private client, and investment banking. As a diversified financial services provider, BMO has many business arms - including online banking, personal finance consulting, credit cards, and mortgage - each tasked with over 30% growth rates annually. To support this rapid growth, IT operations needed to add, on average, 200 servers per year to the existing heterogeneous server infrastructure and either leverage existing IT resources or grow the IT staff. The Bank of Montreal deployed BMC solution which ensures that the capacity of the IT infrastructure matches the evolving demands of the business in a cost-effective, timely, and accurate manner.
