ISLANDIA, N.Y., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (Nasdaq: CA) was named a leader in Enterprise IT Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) in the "IDC MarketScape: IT Project and Portfolio Management 2010 Vendor Analysis — Four Views to Enable Effective Evaluation." CA Technologies, with its CA Clarity™ PPM solution, was also cited as a leader in IT Financial Management and positioned as a major player in IT PPM SaaS and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).

Melinda-Carol Ballou, program director for IDC's Application Life-Cycle Management research, wrote in the report, "CA Clarity PPM v12 provides specific content (including requirements planning) to support new product development and provides further enhancements to its IT PPM solution (which includes integration with Microsoft SharePoint). With the launch of its SaaS product in 2008, CA Clarity PPM On Demand, CA Technologies also began more effectively addressing opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses (and G2000 companies with lower PPM maturity models) seeking a faster on-ramp and greater CA Clarity PPM usage rates along with a decapitalized purchase model."

"IDC's detailed analysis of four market views this year highlights CA Technologies leadership position as an enterprise PPM solution provider that meets the requirements of customers inside IT and across the organization – whether delivered via SaaS or on-premise," said Brian Bell, general manager, Service and Portfolio Management, CA Technologies. "Our customers want to invest in a proven PPM solution and technology partner that will support their growing PPM maturity. They can be assured that this analysis reflects our commitment to this critical market."

Adding to the existing strength of CA Clarity PPM as a product for innovation management, CA Technologies announced new SaaS capabilities on December 7, 2010, that make it easier for companies to deliver the products and services that customers want, on time and on budget. This integrated solution brings together the industry-leading CA Clarity PPM product with new and updated SaaS capabilities to better capture and manage customer ideas. This solution includes CA Idea Vision™, CA Product Vision™ and CA Agile Vision™, and enables customers to manage traditional and Agile development projects.
