The company that made documentation follow the code now delivers legacy modernization. Its wager: before AI can change a system safely, someone must establish what the system actually does.

Broadcom
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) is one of the world's largest semiconductor and infrastructure-software companies, headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Led by President and CEO Hock Tan since 2006, it designs custom AI accelerators, Ethernet switching and routing silicon, wireless and broadband chips, and optical components, while also running a large enterprise-software business anchored by VMware, Symantec, CA and Brocade.

BMC Software
BMC Software is a Houston-founded enterprise software company that builds the IT operations, service management, and mainframe automation tools that keep large organizations running. Founded in 1980 by three former Shell engineers, BMC has spent four decades turning the unglamorous work of keeping systems alive - monitoring, scheduling, patching, recovering - into automated, increasingly AI-driven products. Its flagship lines include Control-M (workload automation), the BMC AMI mainframe suite, and BMC Helix (service and operations management). Owned by KKR since 2018, BMC split into two focused companies, BMC and BMC Helix, in early 2025.
