[December 19, 2007] CA SWEEPS AWARDS AT 2007 PROJECT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SUMMIT EUROPE Tweet CA (News - Alert) Wins for “Best Solution,” “Best Technology and Service Provider” and “Best Presentation” Mark Seventh Consecutive Event with Most Awards CA announced that it has been voted the winner in all three categories—“Best Solution,” “Best Technology and Service Provider” and “Best Presentation”—for its CA Clarity PPM solution at the recent 2007 Gartner (News - Alert) Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Summit Europe in Prague, Czech Republic. This marks the seventh consecutive Gartner PPM Summit where CA has won more awards than any other vendor. The Project & Portfolio Management Innovation™ Awards are especially meaningful because they are voted on solely by the over 100 attending Senior IT Executives after hearing from leading PPM (News - Alert) vendors during a series of boardroom presentations over a two-day period. The awards recognize technology and service providers for their solutions, programs, service and support, and design and delivery of presentations. “These awards mean a great deal to us because they are based on the viewpoint of attending IT executives who understand the challenges of enterprise PPM better than anyone,” said Carl Landers, vice president of marketing for CA Clarity PPM. “This user community plays a lead role in the evolution of CA Clarity PPM as we continue to fulfill the escalating requirements of our customers in terms of functionality, ease-of-use, and completeness of vision.” The latest awards add to a string now totaling eight consecutive Gartner PPM Summits where CA and its CA Clarity PPM solution have been formally recognized by the attending users.
