Technologies Study Identifies Ways for 80% of Companies to Develop and Deliver
Better Software Faster

New Data From Almost 1000 Global Respondents Cite Substantial
Performance and Business Benefits From Cloud-Based Tools for DevOps

Singapore, May 25, 2017 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today released a
first-of-its-kind study to quantify the benefits for companies that combine DevOps
methodologies with Cloud-based tools and delivery mechanisms. The new data from
almost 1000 IT Decision Makers was revealed at the company’s first annual Built to Change
Summit, and supported
the announcement of innovations across the CA portfolio.

The online research study was
conducted by Freeform Dynamics in early 2017 and indicates that companies
practicing DevOps with Cloud-based tools and delivery results in:

81% improvement in overall software delivery
performance (over an improvement of just 52% when practicing DevOps alone
or 53% when leveraging Cloud without DevOps)
Almost 2x faster software
delivery speed.
80% better predictability
of software performance.
66% improvement in
software quality for fewer defects.
69% improvement in
customer experience than baseline of traditional software development and
delivery models.
More than 2x better cost
control for the tools and services that DevOps teams actually use.

The study
makes direct comparisons between traditional software development and delivery
methods, the use of DevOps and Cloud separately, and also with the extensive
use of both together. The resulting statistics lay out definitive advantages of
software delivery performance for any enterprise in terms of cost, quality and
efficiency.

“Today,
being built to succeed means being built to change. Working around the world
with customers of all sizes, this change manifests in the move to public cloud
workloads for greater flexibility, agility and cost efficiency. Our job is to
ensure that companies have the choice to run their workloads where and how it
makes sense. We provide the tools, technologies and services to support this
hybrid approach to internal development. Now the data proves the benefits and
value of the approach,” said Ayman Sayed, president and chief product officer,
CA Technologies.

To support
this era of development and delivery, CA introduced new software to meet
customer needs in any deployment. Innovations supporting microservices and
container-based architectures, and driving overall modernization with machine
learning and advanced analytics shared by CA include:

CA
Agile Central with Team Board, a new capability
to bridge the gap between employee autonomy and company strategy with an
unprecedented level of process flexibility supporting Scrum and Kanban at the
team level, while helping ensure visibility and alignment to corporate strategy
and direction.
A holistic approach to API
Management in the cloud with portfolio
updates including CA API Developer Portal to support full lifecycle API
Management for modern architectures, CA Live API Creator for instant, complete
microservices creation and a gateway for microservices, currently in beta availability
for Docker containers, to orchestrate and secure microservices.
Orchestration across the entire
software delivery chain in a single view with CA
Continuous Delivery Director SaaS, now available in public beta, with
analytics that provide visibility into time spent at each step in the software
development lifecycle (SDLC) for faster software delivery. Integration across
the CA portfolio with planning tool, CA Agile Central, CA
BlazeAPI Test, a new public beta to meet critical performance metrics, performance
testing tool CA
BlazeMeter, release
automation, operations and application testing with CA Veracode.
CA’s
Digital Experience Insights, now available in a public trial, is a SaaS-based
analytics solution that correlates end-user, application and infrastructure
monitoring to deliver business and operational insights necessary to improve
digital experiences.
CA
Mainframe Operations Intelligence integration with the Automic
ONE Automation Platform that uses machine learning for
operational intelligence and real-time dynamic thresholds to proactively detect
performance anomalies sooner and automate corrective action that prevents
outages and slowdowns of mission essential systems.
CA
Veracode integration to support the
fundamental shift to DevSecOps that incorporates security across the entire
software lifecycle. By detecting and addressing security defects throughout the
development process, companies can reduce the risk of the most common source of
breaches: attacks on the application layer.
