SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dreamforce
2010 -- CA Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) today expanded on its
leadership position in Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) by
announcing a new solution that enables organizations to bring the
voice of the customer to the forefront of decision making about
what to build and bring to market. The announcement was made today
at Dreamforce 2010, the cloud computing event of the year.
To best meet customer needs and succeed in the marketplace, it's
now essential that the right products and services are developed,
in addition to them being on time and on budget. The new,
integrated solution brings together the industry-leading CA
Clarity™ PPM product with new and updated cloud applications: CA
Idea Vision™, CA Product Vision™ and CA Agile Vision™. As a result,
organizations can now enable the development of what their
customers want, with the flexibility of using one solution to
manage traditional development and new Agile projects.
"CA Technologies now has an even stronger enterprise solution
that helps organizations deliver the right feature sets for their
products and services in a timely and cost-effective way," said
Brian Bell, general manager, Service
and Portfolio Management, CA Technologies. "These new capabilities
are delivered on-demand, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to
lead the industry by developing cloud based applications that
provide faster time to value and reduced management overhead."
Increasing customer demands coupled with decreasing budgets are
forcing organizations to be more efficient in their innovation
decisions. The new solution from CA Technologies helps
organizations define the priorities and scope of deliverables,
while integrating work management processes, to better meet
customer expectations. And unlike other offerings, with the new
solution from CA Technologies, it doesn't matter if one is using
Agile or traditional development methodologies - all projects are
managed with one user interface, reducing costs while increasing
customer satisfaction.
"We have very fast product development cycles," says
James Chan, project management
director of Donovan Data Systems' project management office (PMO).
"For example, in three years we introduced 34 releases of iDesk,
our application for digital advertising campaign management. Agile
Vision helps us easily break down product requirements into smaller
chunks. It gives us a true focus on what we need to deliver in each
iteration."
CA Technologies worked with salesforce.com, the leader in
enterprise cloud computing, to build the new Agile on demand
capabilities on Force.com, the world's leading enterprise cloud
platform.
Overview of new capabilities:
- New! CA Idea Vision enables product managers and
business management to build the projects, products and services
that end users want by gathering and vetting ideas and requirements
from a variety of sources up front including customers, partners
and the employee base.
- New! CA Product Vision helps the user capture, plan and
manage requirements as part of a project, ensuring that the focus
is kept on what matters most to the customer.
- New enhancements within CA Agile Vision include
integration with Jira and HP Quality Center to deliver
purpose-built agile planning that enables development teams to
identify and execute a plan that delivers the specific project,
while working in the way they choose.
