Dear fellow investors:
Just over 18 months ago, we embarked on a strategy to help customers gain the
advantages of emerging technologies like virtualization and cloud computing.
We recognized that customers were looking for ways to become more efficient
and agile, and that our deep experience managing, securing and automating
complex information technology could help them achieve those goals. What we
couldn’t have appreciated at that time was just how rapidly customers would
embrace these new technologies.
Over the past year our industry has evolved significantly, with the changing
business requirements of our customers worldwide driving greater demand for
virtualization, cloud computing and software-as-a-service (SaaS).
Throughout the year, we continued to execute on our corporate strategy by
combining key technology acquisitions with organic development, strong
existing products and decades of expertise. This is enabling us to optimize our
portfolio of solutions and services for large and emerging enterprises, extend our
reach to new geographic markets and tap new opportunities to grow our business.
Today, we’re focused on helping all of our customers manage, secure and
automate IT in any environment—from physical, to virtual, to cloud. With CA
Technologies, our customers can reliably deliver more flexible IT services and,
in turn, offer new products, improve service and compete better.
