CA CLARITY POSITIONED IN “LEADERS” QUADRANT FOR IT PROJECT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
CA (NYSE: CA) today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management Applications.* The CA Clarity system—which features integrated portfolio planning, demand management, project management, resource planning and time and cost management—has achieved significant growth and even broader market acceptance in the past year.
“We believe being positioned as a leader in Gartner’s PPM Magic Quadrant underscores CA’s long-term focus and commitment to help organizations align their technology investments with their strategic business imperatives,” said Carl Landers, vice president of marketing for CA Clarity. “Our customer community, which now exceeds 700 global enterprises, offers definitive proof that CA Clarity significantly improves IT investment decision-making—while also optimizing project efficiency and completion rates with limited budgets.”
Last fall, CA introduced CA Clarity r8, the next generation of PPM solutions which delivers the foundation for comprehensive IT governance by providing a single system for the strategic planning and financial control of IT services. By maximizing IT’s ability to align budgets and resources with business needs and minimizing the risk of inadequate controls across the enterprise, CA Clarity r8 helps deliver on CA’s Enterprise IT Management (EITM) vision of unifying and simplifying IT.
CA will demonstrate the latest version of CA Clarity at the Gartner PPM Summit in Boston, June 18-20, and feature global staffing leader, Manpower, as a showcase CA Clarity implementation.
