Supports Development of an IT Services Portfolio
And Managing the IT Function Like a Business
April 5, 2007 (Press Release) --
ISLANDIA, N.Y., April 5, 2007 – CA (NYSE: CA) announced today that its CA Clarity project and portfolio management (PPM) solution has been recognized by Butler Group as a leading solution that companies should consider when improving IT governance. In a new report titled "IT Governance – Managing Portfolios, Projects, Processes and People," Butler Group, Europe's leading IT research and advisory organization, makes the case that IT governance is a mandatory initiative for both private and public sectors, and discusses the importance of PPM in enabling this vision.
"Without effective IT governance, the business value of IT is substantially impaired," said Tim Jennings, research director, Butler Group. "PPM solutions, such as CA Clarity 8, help ensure that IT services meet the requirements of a company's overall business goals by justifying investment decisions, providing project visibility, assessing and mitigating risk and measuring the return on investment. CA Clarity is positioned to support advanced IT governance concepts as customers seek to streamline and obtain maximum benefit from their IT efforts."
A key part of the IT Governance report is the Butler Group Project Portfolio Management Market Lifecycle Ratings where the analyst firm considers nine possible vendors and divides them into three groups, Shortlist, Consider, and Explore, depending on the maturity of the PPM offering. For companies evaluating solutions this year, CA Clarity is one of only two products to make Butler Group's Shortlist.
"Because today's corporations are engaged in such a diverse and complex range of technology initiatives, it is critical for them to have a single system of record for strategic planning, visibility and financial control of IT services," said Carl Landers, vice president of marketing for CA Clarity. "We are pleased that Butler Group has recognized how well CA Clarity fulfills this critical need."
