ISLANDIA, N.Y. and DITTON PARK,
U.K., Aug. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that it has been
chosen by Tesco to manage and monitor its global IT infrastructure
across the entire Tesco Group, including Tesco Bank, Tesco DotCom and Tesco Mobile.
The $45 million deal sees a number
of CA Technologies solutions being implemented to give Tesco
visibility into the health and performance of its IT supply chain,
including mainframe, desktop computers, servers, networks, credit
card transactions, suppliers and supply orders. The investment will
help Tesco to take action before any IT problems evolve and affect
services to customers.
With 472,000 staff working in over 5,000 stores across 14
countries, monitoring Tesco's IT infrastructure is both
time-consuming and complex. Having previously used a number of
different solutions from a range of vendors, Tesco selected CA
Technologies IT management solutions to consolidate its IT
infrastructure, while providing customers a consistently good
service experience. Solutions deployed include CA Service
Operations Insight (formerly CA Spectrum Service Assurance), CA
SYSVIEW(R) Performance Management and CA Process Automation.
Mike McNamara, Chief Information
Officer, Tesco commented on the investment, "Our systems
infrastructure needs to work for our IT team in order to do their
job for our customers, our colleagues and our suppliers. We rely on
CA Technologies software to tame a very big, distributed,
heterogeneous infrastructure. We are very pleased to extend our
long-standing relationship with CA Technologies into a third
decade."
Colin Bannister, CTO and vice
president of Technical Sales for UK and Ireland, CA Technologies said, "We have been a
strategic IT partner to Tesco for the past 20 years and are
delighted to further develop our relationship with this new
investment. The longevity of this partnership demonstrates that our
solutions have a proven track record of successfully solving
Tesco's IT infrastructure problems, helping the brand to do more
with less, become more agile, enhance customer satisfaction and
ultimately create a more profitable business."
Tesco also uses CA ecoSoftware to help increase the efficiency,
speed and accuracy of its carbon accounting process, enabling the
company to more effectively track progress in pursuit of its
ambitious carbon reduction goals. With the CA Technologies
solution, Tesco can monitor its global footprint across a range of
activities including IT, stores, refrigeration, distribution, waste
and sourcing, using reports to help assess and lower this on an
annual basis.
