CA IT Client Manager and CA IT Asset Manager Among 12 IT Asset
Lifecycle Management Tools Evaluated ISLANDIA, N.Y., April 13
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA (NASDAQ:CA) today announced it has
been named a "Leader" for IT asset lifecycle management (ITALM)
tools in The Forrester Wave(TM): IT Asset Lifecycle Management, Q2
2009 (April 2009) research report.* CA earned a "Leader" rating
based on its strong end-to-end offerings and excellent product
vision based on Forrester's evaluation of CA IT Client Manager and
CA IT Asset Manager. For the ITALM management tools report,
Forrester analysts evaluated 12 products among 11 vendors based on
81 criteria grouped by Current Offering, Strategy and Market
Presence. CA's solution, which includes CA IT Client Manager and CA
IT Asset Manager, had the top score for Current Offering and Market
Presence categories. Current Offering was evaluated on various
features and CA earned top scores in contractual management, vendor
management and financial management capabilities. Market Presence
was evaluated on installed base and revenue. "Investments in ITALM
projects -- the accounting for all assets throughout their
lifecycle from procurement to disposal -- are increasing as
enterprises react to compliancy pressure and realize that good
documentation of their IT 'estate' is a foundation for many other
goals they wish to achieve -- especially the one of running IT as a
business," Forrester stated in the report. "As IT organizations
continuously strive to deliver the right services at the right cost
with the best quality to their customers, it is crucial that they
manage their IT assets as a foundation for service delivery and
service support. The reason is very simple: If you don't know what
you have in your estate, you can't build and deliver sophisticated
service levels." CA believes companies need complete visibility and
control of IT assets to drive cost savings, manage their software
license agreements, and improve financial planning as part of a
portfolio-driven approach to managing IT services. "Comprised of IT
Client Manager, CA IT Asset Manager, and CA Service Accounting,
this solution is a natural fit for organizations using CA
enterprise management tools and for companies that are considering
a well-rounded and extremely sophisticated ITALM solution," wrote
Evelyn Hubbert, senior analyst, IT Infrastructure & Operations,
Forrester Research. "In tough times, IT is expected to help cut
costs, without compromising business growth. The cost management
benefits of IT Asset Management are well-known and can have
significant business-level impact, enabling budgeting and
forecasting, improving contract negotiations, optimizing capital
expenditures, and ensuring software license compliance," said Brian
Bell, senior vice president and general manager, CA Service
Management. "With a portfolio-level view of their entire IT asset
cost base, CA Asset Lifecycle Management solutions can help
organizations greatly enhance business decisions to improve
financial management and lower administrative costs." For a copy of
