Business Wire
CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) and Aspera GmbH (“Aspera”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of USU Software AG (“USU”), today announced
an OEM agreement under which CA Technologies will embed Aspera’s
SmartTrack license management technology in its CA IT Asset Manager
software.
CA IT Asset Manager helps organizations reduce the risk of
license compliance and optimize the cost, management and
distribution of existing assets.
“Findings from the latest annual survey conducted at Gartner's
IT Financial, Procurement and Asset Management Summit again show
higher numbers of audits year over year.” In the same research
note, Gartner recommends that “CIOs should invest the funds needed
to ensure that robust asset management is in place and effective,
and that asset management staff are empowered to ensure
compliance.”*
Software license agreements with vendors can also be highly
complex, making it difficult for customers to get maximum business
value from them while also rigorously maintaining compliance with
licensing terms.
According to Gartner analyst Patricia Adams, “Correlating
license entitlement with installed software is not an easy task.
Therefore, vendors specializing in software license optimization
are emerging to address this market niche.”**
“Aspera lives and breathes software license management,” said
Christof Beaupoil, president of Aspera Technologies Inc., the
U.S.-based sister company of Aspera GmbH. “By providing CA
Technologies with both our technology and expertise, Aspera can
help CA Technologies customers more quickly and easily achieve
their efficiency and compliance goals.”
Aspera’s software license management technology complements the
broader CA Technologies Service Management solutions portfolio,
which addresses all aspects of software, hardware and network
resource ownership on-premise and in the cloud—along with
associated IT operations.
Aspera also delivers its technology as a cloud-based service,
which aligns well with the CA Technologies IT
Management-as-a-Service (ITMaas) strategy.
"IT organizations are under intense pressure to get the most out
of every dollar of IT spend, even as their environments are
becoming increasingly complex," said Lokesh Jindal, senior vice
president, Service and Portfolio Management, CA Technologies. "Our
relationship with Aspera will help our customers worldwide fulfill
this core objective by empowering them to improve utilization of
all the assets that support their service delivery."
