A STRATEGIC APPROACH
Our customers are faced with tough challenges:
increasingly complex computing environments,
rising security threats, proliferating regulatory
requirements and increased demands for
business agility, just to name a few. The need
for more effective ways to manage and
secure Information Technology
(IT)
infrastructures
is growing. Indeed, we estimate the current
management software market to be approximately
$34
billion with a compounded annual growth
rate of
10.4
percent through
2008
.
CA
’s software addresses those challenges.
We manage and secure our customers’
extremely complex and heterogeneous comput-
ing environments to help reduce cost and
complexity, manage risk, improve compliance
and manage
IT
to meet dynamic business
needs.
CA
’s Enterprise
IT
Management
(EIM)
solutions help
IT
organizations solve operational
challenges and contribute to business success.
CA
is organized into four lines of business.
These are: Enterprise Systems Management,
Security Management, Storage Management
and Business Service Optimization. The software
products developed in each of these areas work
together to offer comprehensive management
and security of
IT
environments.
CA
operates a fifth business unit, the
CA
Products
Group, which includes products outside of
these four areas that are important to
our customers. Each business unit is responsible
for not only developing best-in-class products,
but also for ensuring that our solutions
integrate with one another and with the software
and systems provided by other vendors.
Here’s how we see the market opportunities
addressed by each business unit and why
we believe
CA
is well positioned to succeed:
ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS
MANAGEMENT
Market Potential*:
$11.5
billion market in
2003
with a compounded annual growth
rate of
7. 6
percent through
2008.
Customer Needs: Reduce costs and
increase
IT
productivity and flexibility, while
complying with numerous regulations,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Basel
II
and the
U.S.
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act
(HIPAA)
, among others.
We manage and simplify our
customers’ extremely
complex and heterogeneous
computing environments
in a secure manner from one
end to the other.
