ISLANDIA, N.Y., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FORTUNE announced today that CA, Inc. (Nasdaq: CA), the world's leading independent IT management software company, has been ranked #482 on the 2010 FORTUNE 500 list.  CA climbed 47 spots from last year and moved into the #4 position on FORTUNE'S Computer Software list.

"It's great to be back in the Fortune 500," said Bill McCracken, chairman and CEO, CA, Inc. "This designation is an indicator of the hard work of our employees worldwide, and of our ability to translate that commitment to help our customers. We are pleased to be among the top 500 companies."
