ISLANDIA, N.Y., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies
(NASDAQ: CA) today announced new Project and Portfolio Management
(PPM) solution capabilities that help meet business demand for
collaboration to improve project and product innovation. By
integrating the CA PPM solution with Salesforce Chatter, the
private enterprise social network, CA Technologies is responding to
the radically different way companies are now communicating and
collaborating using social technologies.
An organization's business success hinges on its ability to
innovate and execute to develop product and services that are
better than the competition. Managing the innovation lifecycle –
from ideation to execution – is critical, and as business adopts
new ways to collaborate and foster innovation, managing that
communication becomes equally important. The CA PPM solution gives
IT leaders and business executives the traceability, workflow,
reporting, and now collaboration required to help drive business
innovation and speed business change.
"As organizations blend Agile and traditional development to
meet competitive demands, it's imperative that teams collaborate
and share ideas, requirements and status updates in a meaningful
forum," said Brian Bell, general
manager, Service and Portfolio Management, CA Technologies.
"Integrating Chatter with our PPM solution helps manage
collaboration across the innovation lifecycle."
The CA PPM solution includes capabilities from CA Clarity PPM
(delivered on demand or on premise) and CA Technologies PPM-related
cloud applications, CA Idea Vision and the Spring 2011 releases of
CA Agile Vision and CA Product Vision.
This announcement introduces the following new features:
- Integration with Chatter, a widely used business social network
that allows teams to work more efficiently and closely. Using
Chatter, project teams will be able to collaborate and easily
follow requirements and status updates online or via mobile devices
like the iPad, iPhone or BlackBerry.
- Deeper integration with leading ERP systems to bring in
critical resource information to facilitate portfolio planning and
decision-making. This addresses the growing need of many
organizations to have a better integration strategy for data from
multiple sources, including SAP® and Oracle®. Pre-built ERP
adapters from CA Technologies and Pervasive Software enable
organizations to maximize the business intelligence from data
investments.
"The industry's reception of Chatter has blown away our
expectations. More than 80,000 enterprises are revolutionizing how
they collaborate using Chatter," said Kendall Collins, chief marketing officer,
salesforce.com. "CA Technologies is bringing the power of Chatter
to project management, enabling organizations to capture real-time
innovation and speed time to market."
