THE HISTORY OF APMDIGEST

APMdigest was originally named BSMdigest. In November 2011 the publication was renamed APMdigest to reflect a growing focus on Application Performance Management, while still continuing to cover Business Service Management issues.

BSMdigest operated as a web publication periodically from 2006-2009. Pete Goldin joined in 2010 as Editor-in-Chief and relaunched BSMdigest in May 2010.

APMdigest and BSMdigest have featured original content from and interviews with every major vendor in the market, including BMC, IBM Tivoli, CA, HP, Compuware and VMware; a variety of innovative start-ups including APMdigest sponsors Netuitive, Zenoss and Zyrion; and the industry's leading consultants and analysts.
