Manage

For years, IT has been managing infrastructure from a technology silo perspective. Increasingly, with the expectation that IT will help drive business growth and innovation, this traditional approach falls short. Enter Business Service Management, an approach that links IT infrastructure to the business services it supports.

CA Business Service Management solutions provide dynamic insight into the relationships between infrastructure components and business services. Armed with this knowledge, you can effectively prioritize management issues and ensure that IT service delivery supports business objectives. CA solutions also provide IT organizations with visibility into the performance of services from the end user's perspective. They automate and integrate IT processes in line with IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) and other best practices. And they help minimize the risk of change and drive continuous improvement.

Infrastructure Optimization is a critical element of Business Service Management. CA solutions provide holistic and integrated management of the entire infrastructure &ndash from a Web service to the mainframe. CA solutions improve the performance of the infrastructure through automation and streamlined management to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of critical business services. And they improve capacity utilization to drive down costs.
