LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CA WORLD ’15 — CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced the release of new products and enhancements that help its customers operate with agility, enabling them to evolve, grow and protect their business in the application economy. With new, organically developed solutions and recently-acquired technologies, CA is delivering new capabilities that help businesses succeed while digitally transforming their companies.
“Not all businesses are on equal footing – some are forging ahead, some are getting left behind. With mounting pressures to respond to competitive, global market pressures, companies that can pivot through technology disruption will remain standing,” said Ayman Sayed, executive vice president and chief product officer, CA Technologies. “We are extremely bullish on leveraging agile practices to accelerate our customers’ digital transformation journey. With the new software and solutions we’re unveiling today, we’re enabling our customers to survive and thrive in the application economy.”
A recent study by Freeform Dynamics – commissioned by CA to investigate the impact of digital transformation – found that companies which have demonstrated an ability to transform and embrace digital are succeeding: 45 percent report increased customer retention rates while 44 percent also recognize an increase in top line revenue growth. Companies that are furthest along in their digital transformation have two times higher revenue growth and two and a half times higher profit growth than organizations that have not yet embraced the power of software as a key business enabler.
CA solutions add value to an organization’s digital strategy. “When we won the deal to broadcast the National Hockey League games, we had less than a year to get the service running successfully on any platform and any device,” said Mo Siddiqui, Senior Manager Architecture and Design, at Rogers Communications, Canada's largest provider of wireless voice and data communications services and one of Canada's leading providers of cable television, high-speed Internet and telephony services to consumers and businesses. “CA’s solutions helped us meet our hockey deadline and advance our digital footprint to help keep our customers connected, and engaged.”
CA’s new solutions address customer needs across DevOps, Agile Management and Security disciplines, helping drive agility throughout their digital journey. Today’s news is the latest example of CA’s commitment to a product strategy designed to help customers accelerate the pace of transformation, and use technology to manage complexity and drive competitive advantage in the application economy.
