“With standardized services offerings, CA is focused on helping customers get maximum value from CA products,” said Richard Sills, Corporate Senior VP and GM, CA. “Unlike custom-quoted implementations that may result in longer time to value, CA's standardized services offerings provide IT staffs with the experience, best practices and expertise that can ensure a fast and successful implementation, a key element of lean IT. In addition, many rapid implementations now carry significantly lower prices, resulting in one less challenge for companies in this difficult economy,” Sills added.

Standardized services offerings enable CIOs to optimize the effectiveness of their IT infrastructures at a lower cost by helping to:

Reduce project complexity and deliver rapid return on investment through deployment playbooks, which contain a repeatable methodology that breaks large, complex projects into phases that deliver value in as little as 60-90 days. They also leverage CA intellectual property distilled from thousands of successful implementations to deliver consistent business outcomes.

Minimize risk by providing up-front planning through CA's methodology, which is accredited by the Open Group. This reduces the need for changes and facilitates alignment between the customer's business and IT goals. The use of CA's best practices helps projects stay on track.

Maximize customer value by allowing more efficient and flexible use of the customer's staff. Projects are delivered on time and on budget by teams that include project managers certified by the Project Management Institute and architects certified to Open Group standards. Operational runbooks, education and support prepare customer employees for continued success with CA products.

The standardized services offerings announced focus on application performance management, infrastructure management, service management, project and portfolio management, security, and mainframe. In addition to rapid implementations, which are fixed-price, pre-packaged offerings designed to deliver business value quickly, they include solution implementations, which may be tailored to meet the needs of unique environments. They also include assessments, health checks, and expert packs.
