PR Newswire (US)
ISLANDIA, N.Y., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Acxiom(R) Corporation, a global
provider of interactive marketing services, has selected CA to help
transform its global IT infrastructure to enable it to quickly
adapt to the company's rapidly changing business needs. The deal,
valued at $35 million in products and services, includes more than
16 solutions based on CA's Enterprise IT Management (EITM) vision,
including Application Performance Management, Identity & Access
Management, Infrastructure Management, Mainframe Management,
Project & Portfolio Management, and Service Management, among
others. CA won the business in a competitive bid. "After a detailed
review of potential IT partners, we chose CA because its Enterprise
IT Management solutions fully support Acxiom's business
strategies," said David Guzman, senior vice president, Global
Technical Solutions for Acxiom. "We pride ourselves on our ability
to help our customers make sense of the tremendous volume of
information that is available to them with the confidence they are
doing so in a secure fashion. CA's solutions clearly demonstrate to
us that we can expect the same level of insight from our own IT
infrastructure." Operational efficiency is a critical ingredient to
success, especially during challenging economic times. For Acxiom,
pursuing this goal requires a transformation, one that helps the
company to expand its offerings and geographic reach while
improving cost controls and cash position. After reviewing its
business processes, Acxiom concluded that the company's technology
infrastructure needed to evolve to achieve a secure and efficient
IT operation. Acxiom also determined that its existing IT and
security management tools would be insufficient to meet its future
needs. As a result, the company conducted a rigorous search for a
new IT solutions partner. Acxiom required new solutions that would
deliver additional services, help it reduce operational expenses
and provide a platform for growth while maintaining service levels.
As a result, the company turned to CA to deliver an integrated set
of software solutions that provide cost-effective and operationally
efficient governance, management, and security capabilities across
its entire IT infrastructure. "When organizations undertake a
change of this magnitude, they look for strong, integrated IT
management offerings that support enterprise-wide operations," said
CA CEO John Swainson. "CA is focused on developing and delivering
to the marketplace software that enables organizations to benefit
from best-in-class service levels, while bringing efficiency,
security and cost-effectiveness to their technology infrastructure.
CA's EITM vision and solutions help companies map IT services
directly to business needs, and support the transformation of a
company's technology infrastructure from just a cost center expense
to a source of competitive advantage." With CA's EITM solutions in
place, Acxiom will continue to drive efficiencies in the way the
company connects clients with end customers. Acxiom's innovative
information management solutions provide critical insights into
consumer relationships that help companies acquire and build
stronger, more profitable relationships with their customers. As
the developer of some of the largest and most sophisticated
business intelligence and marketing databases in the world,
Acxiom's customer information management solutions help close gaps
in customer knowledge -- a key factor enabling Acxiom's clients to
sustain and grow their businesses. (Logo:
