CA Enables Lean IT to Help Maximize Value and Minimize Cost
New and Enhanced Solutions Help CIOs Deliver Optimal Customer Experience, Drive Revenue and Increase IT Efficiency
CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA), the world’s leading independent IT management software company, today announced 13 new and enhanced Enterprise IT Management (EITM) products that help CIOs achieve Lean IT by reducing waste, increasing productivity and improving the customer experience.
Lean IT allows CIOs to focus on what’s most important—delivering value to their internal and external customers—while lowering costs. CA’s comprehensive EITM solutions offer a path to Lean IT by visualizing, automating and optimizing critical IT systems and processes across all environments: mainframe to distributed, virtual to physical, cloud to on-premises.
“In this challenging environment, organizations need IT to deliver maximum value and minimal cost,” said Ajei Gopal, executive vice president, Products and Technology Group, CA, Inc. “With these new EITM releases, CA is dramatically strengthening its IT management portfolio and fulfilling the promise of Lean IT. Our capabilities are delivered as integrated solutions that surpass other vendors’ cumbersome point-to-point integration, and without their hardware and services agendas that limit choice and force expensive and prolonged deployments. Customers tell us this pragmatic and flexible EITM approach allows them to think strategically and execute tactically, which is precisely what is needed now.”
To help leading organizations realize the benefits of Lean thinking, beginning in May Gartner and Forrester will be featured in CA half-day seminars around the globe on a ‘Pragmatic Approach to Lean IT.’
“Fujitsu’s approach to Lean IT centers both on eliminating waste and focusing on the quality and value of IT services,” said Marc Silvester, chief technology officer, Fujitsu Services. “Our TRIOLE® methodology brings mainframe discipline to IT services and a capability to engineer out defects and waste prior to service delivery. Our strong relationship with CA and their Enterprise IT Management software has helped us develop and deliver services for our customers that are sustainable, value-added and fit-for-purpose.”
“The Lean IT approach directly addresses the main challenge that CIOs face today—the requirement to maximize the value IT delivers to the business while minimizing cost,” said Jasmine Noel, partner, Ptak, Noel & Associates LLC. “CA’s modular yet integrated EITM solutions can help enterprises and organizations become leaner with quick-win business value projects such as managing customer experience, while systematically increasing IT's productivity and efficiency for longer-term success.”
