CA Technologies CEO emphasizes on Mainframe Innovation

The CEO of CA Technologies has challenged 5,000 attendees to embrace disruptive technologies such as cloud, mobile, social and big data management analytics to transform business and drive competitive advantage at CA WORLD 2013.
 
Mike Gregoire, CEO, CA Technologies, said, "Value is no longer measured by the size of the IT staff, the computing power (MIPs) under management or the square footage of your data centers. IT’s value today is all about providing the innovation, speed, insight and security the business needs to gain a competitive advantage – using resources from both inside and outside your company. This creates a huge opportunity for CIOs and other IT leaders to act as a catalyst and enable modern business models and methods – to not only transform IT, but to transform the business."
 
Gregoire described an IT world where more and more systems, data and applications exist outside data centers – and outside firewalls, producing additional challenges and demands.
 
In his keynote, Gregoire also highlighted CA Technologies’ focus on DevOps, Mobility, SaaS (Software as a Service) and Big Data Analytics Management technology trends that will enable its customers to deliver and arrange IT with greater impact on business.
 
Additionally, he focussed on the emphasis the company is putting on ensuring customer success including investments in moving customers to newer versions of software and delivering “bankable” product roadmaps.
