At CA, The Next Generation Is Shipping Today.
The technology industry is infamous for showing tomorrow’s products, yet selling today’s.
But at CA we deliver solutions that not only meet today’s needs, but are also built to
grow to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Leading-edge technologies like virtual-reality interfaces,
object-oriented databases and end-to-end management tools are available now from CA.
We’re able to deliver this leading-edge technology faster, because of our single-minded focus on
“The Next Generation” and our obsession with getting there first.
TNG is part of everything we do at CA. It’s the engine that drives us towards the future and
helps us deliver software solutions for our clients just when they need them the most.
Today.
How The Next Generation Software
Is Helping The Next Generation.
While we’re known as the world’s leading business software company, there’s another side to us that
you may not know.
Every year we dedicate a substantial amount of resources to help
hundreds of non-business, non-profit organizations. While we never
charge for this work or the services and products we provide, the divi-
dends far outweigh the expenses. Using software to help change some-
one’s life or make the world a little bit better place, is perhaps our favorite
technology demo.
For years our software has helped people find missing data, today it
is helping find missing children. As a technology sponsor for the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children, we’ve devel-
oped an Internet Web site that plays a critical role in finding missing and exploited
children. Our technology enables the Center to post information and pictures of
missing children on the World Wide Web in a fraction of the time it used to take.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation®has been helping make dreams come true for termi-
nally ill children for years. CA is a corporate sponsor that helps Make-A-Wish raise money
nationwide through various fund-raising events and CA employee contributions. For this and
any other charity or non-profit organization, CA matches employee donations two for one.
Operation Smile is a volunteer medical non-profit organization that helps children born with cleft
lips and palates both in the United States and around the world. Since 1982, Operation Smile has
provided free reconstructive surgery to more than 40,000 indigent
children. In addition to providing monetary support, CA is working with
Operation Smile to develop a global network that will connect its thousands of volunteers around
the world.
These are just a few of the hundreds of non-profit organizations around the world that CA is
helping with both innovative Next Generation software solutions and financial support.
