CA
Govern
IT organizations put IT Governance processes in place to ensure they make the most effective IT investment decisions to support business strategy. CA solutions provide insight into all the essential ingredients for effective decision making: the quality of new and existing services, and the costs and business risks associated with them. With this portfolio-level view of your service offerings, you can build better business cases, prioritize investments, and make smart trade-off decisions.
CA solutions also enable IT executives to engage more effectively with their business executive peers to manage demand. With CA solutions, you'll have insight into the quality and costs of an end-to-end service (e.g., an order entry system) rather than its individual piece parts (e.g.,storage devices, WAN costs). Armed with this knowledge, you can better manage demand by encouraging more fiscally responsible behavior from the business units you support. This proactive approach further improves the decision-making process by freeing up vital resources and funds for more strategic investment.
Of course, there are certain investment decisions that are nonnegotiable, such as supporting legal and regulatory compliance mandates. CA solutions deliver a holistic and standardized approach to risk and compliance, so that processes can be automated and reused irrespective of regulation. In doing so, you will lower both the cost and risk of managing compliance across the enterprise. These solutions enable your organization to become "well presented," addressing information management requirements, user-access rights and change controls.
