CA Technologies named a Leader by Gartner for IT PPM software

CA Technologies has been positioned by Gartner in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management Software Applications, Worldwide*.

According to the report, "Demand for IT PPM software continues to expand, with overall PPM market growth of 7.4% in 2015, amounting to more than US$2 billion in revenue. This is due, in part, to an increased pace of change, as well as a change in the nature of change, driven by digitalisation.”

The report notes that digitalisation is not exclusive to IT. It is business, and it crosses silos, be they within or between organisations. Thus, we continue to see pressure for IT Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions to transcend IT project management offices (PMOs). One of the most prevalent ways this pressure is alleviated is through domain-specific configurations for previously ignored areas, such as architecture, engineering, and construction, as well as marketing. Another is the ability to integrate to other solutions, be they ERP, CRM, HR, application life cycle management (ALM) or myriad other cloud solutions.”

“Companies need quick access to business insights from across disciplines for better decision making and to develop faster responses to market shifts, if they are going to thrive in today’s application economy,” said Rob Carruthers, Senior Director, Agile Management at CA Technologies, Asia Pacific and Japan.

“CA Project & Portfolio Management connects strategy to execution across the entire business investment portfolio, giving organisations key project, product and financial insights to enable them to adapt more quickly.”

With CA PPM, companies are able to gather insights from a wide array of projects and portfolios via integration capabilities, including out of the box solutions like CA Agile Central (formerly Rally) to support application lifecycle management needs, ERP solutions or a host of other applications with an expanding range of RESTful application programming interfaces (APIs). Available via the cloud and on-premises, CA PPM improves business leaders’ ability to prioritise strategic initiatives and resources.

Gartner evaluated nine software vendors across 15 criteria in the report. CA Technologies was one of three vendors placed in the Leaders quadrant.

In November 2015, CA was also named as a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis Applications.**
