In CA Technologies has announced a new release of CA Clarity Project and Portfolio Management (PPM).
This release redefines the user experience and improves customers ability to innovate by managing the innovation lifecycle from the idea phase to execution; transform the business by providing a value roadmap to make informed decisions and better align IT initiatives with business strategy; and sustain the optimum portfolio of IT and corporate initiatives and investments to deliver greater business value.
Organizations are looking to CA Technologies for Business Service Innovation - using advanced technologies and new approaches to deliver innovation and value to their customers, said Chris Wilson, Vice President, Mainframe, Asia Pacific, CA Technologies. We see organizations expanding how they use PPM by applying it to business initiatives such as cloud service adoption for business transformation, new product development, managing projects from conception to execution and enterprise collaboration.
This release of CA Clarity PPM furthers customers ability to reduce costs through improved productivity and a simplified user experience; to achieve faster time-to-value from their software investment; and to collaboratively innovate across varied functions within the enterprise.
Improved productivity is achieved through a new consistent, intuitive user interface (UI) that simplifies the user experience to enhance productivity and help reduce costs. The new UI provides:
-- Smarter, more refined navigation across the solution with streamlined menus, search-as-you-type data validation, and in-line editing. The UI requires fewer clicks to manage and access information, and gives users the ability to personalize views and save favorites.
-- Improved interactive charts, dashboards and Gantt views that make real-time PPM information accessible and relevant to anyone at any level across the organization.
-- The blend of these capabilities into a single solution helps manage the full lifecycle of innovation. CA Clarity PPM provides complete control over project inception, delivery and management for both traditional and agile project management.
-- By leveraging Chatter from Salesforce.com, CA Clarity PPM incorporates enterprise social collaboration, thus refining requirements planning and Agile project delivery. Chatter feeds also can be directed to smart phones for real-time collaboration and allow users to follow items of interest ranging from ideas, requirements, tasks or individuals.
This release of CA Clarity PPM has many new functions and features that extend its utility and benefit beyond the IT department, said Tammi Reel, vice president of the New York City CA Clarity PPM User Group and senior application analyst, Emerging Health, Montefiore Information Technology. The simplicity, added features and a new user interface should enhance productivity for all users from senior management to project managers. CA Clarity PPM users should see version 13 as a breath of fresh air. It is truly an extreme makeover to the CA Clarity PPM application.
Available on premise, on-demand as a service, or hosted and implemented by CA Services, CA Clarity PPM v13 changes the way partners and customers view and use the solution. Customers who engage CA Services to host and implement the software can realize savings on capital investments and internal resource expenditures, since CA Services will also monitor and manage the solution and infrastructure, and make CA Clarity PPM upgrades available automatically.
