CA WORLD ’17 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) CEO Mike Gregoire
opened CA World® ’17 by encouraging business and IT executives to
find the intersection of innovation and execution, and to seek
partners like CA, whose software solutions accelerate delivery of
business value and help unlock enterprise creativity.
"We’ve long passed the point where enterprise software is used
merely to drive efficiencies. The focus today is on innovating the
next big shift for your company. That is the number one priority we
are focused on – providing you with solutions that will remove the
barriers between your ideas and outcomes,” Gregoire said.
Gregoire urged executives to develop what he calls a sense of
digital intuition: leveraging a myriad of customer data to find
patterns, anticipate trends, inform decisions and even manage
risk.
Gregoire drew on CA’s own blueprint for digital transformation
and experiences, explaining how the company has reorganized itself
as a Modern Software Factory in recent years to leverage agile,
automation, insights and security to enable maximum business value
for its customers. He went on to recognize the investments that
attendees had already made in information technology and advised
them to leverage their existing strengths to support new
innovations.
Gartner notes, “with digital business change being a top CIO
priority, existing IT infrastructure and applications, as well as
business processes, must accommodate the ‘new’ quickly and rapidly.
If legacy systems fail to support, integrate or enable these new
digital initiatives, digital business success will be impaired, or
even fail.”1
“The ability to manage change, respond to new inputs or insights
and pivot has never been more important,” said Gregoire. “Our
entire portfolio is designed around the pillars of the Modern
Software Factory to increase the velocity, security and performance
of the solutions and the apps that are critical to our customers’
businesses.”
Gregoire also discussed the expectations on governments around
the world to actively seek ways to improve the citizen experience
through software. In that vein, CA today announced the CA Smart
Government Challenge, a contest that
invites U.S.-based developers to submit their most innovative ideas
for improving the “citizen experience” of federal government
services through software.
Gregoire covered the company’s own innovation engine, the CA
Accelerator. With 10 start-ups currently enrolled in the program,
these incubations function like “lean startups” within CA. Each one
receives support and funding to develop and test new product ideas
in the marketplace. One of the program’s success stories,
FreshTracks.io today announced the open registration for its beta
program.
Gregoire highlighted customers who have built reputations by
executing well on innovative thinking, including:
- Citi FinTech– The innovation
unit within Citi’s Global Consumer Bank charged with delivering a
superior customer experience on mobile, and a customer of CA Agile
Requirements Designer.
- Eurosport - With CA API
Management and CA App Experience Analytics, this pan-European
sports network now offers a first-of-its-kind viewer experience
that gets fans closer to the action than ever before.
CA Technologies is showcasing over twenty innovations and
enhancements across the portfolio at CA World ’17. These
solutions give companies the ability to respond and adapt to
change, as well as evolve existing technology investments for
future success. From on-premises to the cloud and everything in
between, only CA delivers industry-leading products, solutions and
expertise that removes the barriers to compete and
succeed.
Following his keynote, Gregoire was joined by mountaineer, skier
and filmmaker Jimmy Chin for a fascinating discussion on balancing
creativity and execution. To view the keynote as a replay, register
