New Business Model
================================================================================
USA GROUP "Negotiating with software vendors at the end of the quarter
has always been very difficult. The flexibility of CA's new
business model represents an important change for software
customers. It allows us to focus more on our technology needs
rather than on financial transactions. This initiative signals
CA's clear commitment and responsiveness to its customers. I
wish other software vendors would follow suit."
Sallie Mae/USA Group, Inc.
(Greg Clancy, Executive VP & CIO)
TIXpert "TIXpert needed a technology business partner that understood
[LOGO] our 24/7 mission-critical needs. CA not only took the time to
recognize how those needs affected our business, but also
provided us with the simplest, most flexible license agreement
we found in the marketplace. Monthly payments and a short
review cycle are just two of the benefits we're getting from
CA's new business model."
TIXpert (Tom Price, COO)
Westgate "CA's new business model provides CFI with more than great
Resorts technology. Under the flexible new licensing terms, like the
[LOGO] month-to-month option, we are enjoying the benefits of CA's
eBusiness(TM) management solutions without the risks of the
longer-term conventional licensing arrangements. In an

New Business Model
================================================================================
Prudential "...we think that CA's shift to a ratable revenue recognition
Securities model is affording management with perhaps the highest levels
[LOGO] of visibility in the company's history, which when combined
with the underlying mainframe software market fundamentals,
should drive premium valuations in the near-to mid-term."
Prudential Securities (John McPeake)
Credit "Given that the March quarter represented the first full
Suisse quarter under CA's new revenue model, we are inclined to
First believe the new model is having its desired effect in enabling
Boston the Company's business to become more linear and less
[LOGO] concentrated around elephant size transactions. To the extent
this new model is creating competitive advantage for CA by
virtue of its related impact on the Company's sales force and
customers, there is even more reason to believe this new
business model is paying dividends faster than we otherwise
would have anticipated. We believe the tougher market
environment we are now entering is likely to be an immediate
proving ground for CA's new business model and has the
potential to make CA an even stronger Company as this
environment punishes the weak into submission."

2001 CORPORATE PROFILE
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
FINANCIALS
Under CA's new Business Model, our license arrangements with customers can
include flexibilities and provisions that no software provider can offer under
traditional license models. We can now offer clients the ability to license
software on a subscription, or month-to-month basis, and allow clients to vary
their software mix as their business and technology needs change, including the
right to receive unspecified future software within designated product lines.
Clients will determine the length and dollar value of their software license.
This puts our clients in a much better position to capture greater value from
their software investments.
In accordance with GAAP, product revenue under the new licensing arrangements is
recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Under the old Business Model,
GAAP required that the product revenue be recognized up front. The portion of
the product revenue that is not yet recognized into revenue is recorded to the
Company's balance sheet as residual value (also known as Deferred Revenue). The
residual value will provide a stable stream of future revenue, as it will be
amortized into revenue over the life of the contract. This difference in
accounting treatment initially results in lower reported revenue and earnings.
The new Business Model also benefits our investors by building residual value,
which creates a more visible and predictable future revenue stream. This reduces
the volatility of quarterly revenue and earnings, providing a more meaningful
way to measure operating performance.

INVESTMENT FEATURES
Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE:CA) is a leading eBusiness
software company. CA's world-class solutions address all aspects of eBusiness
Process Management, Information Management, and Infrastructure Management in six
focus areas: Enterprise Management, Security, Storage, eBusiness Transformation
and Integration, Portal and Knowledge Management, and Predictive Analysis and
Visualization. Founded in 1976, CA serves organizations in more than 100
countries, including 99% of the Fortune 500(R) companies.
The Company maintains a philosophy of internally developing products
(exemplified by its flagship product family Unicenter(R)),coupled with the
acquisition of key technology, the integration of the two, and the establishment
of a network of strategic alliances with key business partners.
Over CA's 25-year history, the product portfolio has grown to more than 1,200
solutions. This year,CA has streamlined its products and technologies into six
core areas, allowing the Company to better focus on the core competencies that
will drive future growth.
In October 2000, the Company announced its new "Business Model" that offers
clients enhanced flexibility and freedom to adapt to rapidly changing eBusiness
requirements while reducing the risks and costs associated with the traditional
software licensing model.
CA has clearly demonstrated its commitment to quality -- becoming the first and
only global enterprise software company to meet the exacting standards of
ISO9002 certification.

LEADING TECHNOLOGY
No doubt, the Internet has radically changed the way companies operate.
Connecting directly with worldwide customers, suppliers, vendors, partners, and
peers, is now standard procedure for any successful eBusiness. Yet, eBusiness is
anything but standard. It's dynamic. eBusiness has already moved beyond its
first generation, which focused on navigation and speed. This next generation
demands security, reliability, availability, and performance. And the software
that makes sense today will need to push new limits tomorrow as customers are
being challenged to derive more and more value from their software investments.
To be successful, customers need flexible partnerships that match the growth of
their technology to the growth of their business. They need the best technology,
product upgrades, and new features available to them at a fair cost. And they
need these solutions that are easy to use and deploy.
After 25 years of delivering solutions to meet evolving business needs, CA is
pushing innovation to a new level. CA has channeled its experience serving 99%
of the Fortune 500 and its rich history of technological excellence into one
kind of software: The Software That Manages eBusiness(TM).
Over the past year, CA has streamlined its products and technologies into three
strategic categories and six core focus areas. Also known as the 3 x 6 Strategy,
it effectively articulates CA's mission to deliver eBusiness management
solutions offering security, reliability, availability, and performance.
CA's strategic categories address the areas where customer demands are greatest:
>> eBUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT
So customers can seamlessly manage business processes within and across their
extended enterprise.
>> eBUSINESS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT, for customers to cohesively manage
business-critical information and leverage it for new opportunities.
>> eBUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT, for customers to powerfully manage their
core infrastructure, keeping the eBusiness up, running, and secure while
connecting customers, suppliers, partners, and employees.
Across these categories, CA delivers market-leading solutions in enterprise
management, security, storage, eBusiness transformation and integration, portal
and knowledge management, and predictive analysis and visualization. In fact, CA
is already a leader in enterprise management, security and storage, and is
committed to becoming a leader in the other areas.
INTRODUCING FOUR NEW BRANDS
As part of our commitment to delivering leading technology, CA is driving brand
recognition for its solutions under four brands: Unicenter(R), BrightStor(TM),
eTrust(TM), and Jasmine(R). These brands represent families of CA products and
technologies that tie back to each of the Company's core solutions.
UNICENTER, recognized as the industry standard, is the premier enterprise
management solution that CA just made better. In an industry first, CA is
offering Unicenter as a modular, integrated solution. All of the pieces can
stand alone or work together so companies can customize their enterprise
management software to grow as the company grows. Unicenter can help customers
manage a complex web of networks and desktops, as well as mobile devices,
databases, and applications.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
BrightStor is CA's industry-leading storage management solution. This suite of
technology helps customers manage and protect their data. Super-scalable,
high-performance backup and recovery combined with Storage Area Network (SAN)
management, storage resource optimization, and an integrated storage operations
portal deliver the most advanced solution that is also extremely easy to use.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
eTRUST delivers award-winning, bulletproof security that makes CA the leading
supplier of security solutions today, safeguarding mission-critical resources
across the enterprise -- from the desktop browser to the web server to the
mainframe. eTrust offers specific best-of-breed security solutions as well as
integrated suites in three focused areas that defend and protect information,
provide secure Internet access, and manage information security. eTrust handles
antivirus, administration, authentication, PKI, access control, and Virtual
Private Networks. Customers -- large or small -- have the flexibility to add
functions as needed with the assurance that they will work seamlessly with one
another.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
JASMINE encompasses all of CA's information management solutions, including
eBusiness transformation and integration, portal and knowledge management, and
predictive analysis and visualization. Each meets a critical customer need:
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
>> When customers transition to eBusiness, they must build new applications and
integrate them with existing systems, processes, and applications. Jasmine helps
customers integrate, develop, deploy, test, and maintain applications, enabling
their eBusiness transition.
>> CA's portal and knowledge management solutions enable eBusiness users to get
all their work done from a single desktop. Users can access all the applications
they need in a customized format.
>> Finally, CA's advanced, patented intelligence technology, helps businesses
identify new opportunities. Using Neugents(R) technology, businesses can analyze
buying patterns, identify cross-selling opportunities, and differentiate
themselves from their competition by knowing their customers better.

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
DOING BUSINESS WITH CA
CA's commitment to meeting customers' needs also reaches into fast-growing
areas, including wireless and platforms, such as .Net, Linux, and J2EE. The
Company draws from its branded, integrated sets of solutions to enable mobile
eBusiness and support emerging technologies. CA has forged strategic
relationships with several leading companies to partner in developing
technologies for these new markets.
At a time when demand is exploding for eBusiness management software solutions,
CA has never been better positioned to help customers meet their business needs.
And when customers succeed, CA succeeds.
THE ca smart(TM) SEAL OF APPROVAL
CA is introducing a powerful brand builder: the ca smart seal. When you see ca
smart, you should think "quality," "innovation," "leading technology," and
"integration". The new mark will be used to brand every CA product and
technology. Certified partners will use it to help identify that their solution
has been integrated with CA technology. This can be done in one of three ways: a
software product can be integrated with CA technology, the product can be
developed with CA technology, or the hardware contains CA technology. Strict
guidelines will be enforced to maintain CA's high standard of quality.
[LOGO] ca smart(TM)
COMMUNICATING VALUE
A revolutionary business model. A dramatic focus on one kind of software. A new
corporate identity. And a 25-year-old software company energized to take on the
world. It's a brand new day for CA and it's time to start talking.
With a bold, redesigned corporate logo, CA launched its first worldwide,
integrated communications campaign in January to reach more than one billion
people in 160 countries. The goal is to educate existing and future customers
and partners on the breadth and depth of CA, and to build brand recognition for
CA's strategic solutions.
It's working. The campaign has already uncovered new business opportunities and
has driven a 60% increase in CA's website traffic.
The campaign will benefit CA's partnership efforts, as well. The better others
understand CA, the stronger the opportunity for CA to strategically align with
the right companies to deliver smart, integrated solutions. CA is always looking
to grow its list of partners, which includes industry giants such as Microsoft,
Intel, Sun, EMC, Oracle, Cisco, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, EDS, Compaq, and Dell.
These efforts represent an unprecedented corporate campaign that is only the
latest step in building a bold CA reputation and driving long-term growth. With
an unmistakable energy, CA is on a mission to succeed -- and the word is
spreading.
"With CA's sales force now aligned with the Company's new Business Model, a
solid pipeline of new product releases that span the enterprise, and the
Company's ratable revenue recognition model driving enhanced visibility, we
think that the Company is poised to execute on its new strategy over the coming
fiscal year ending March 2002."
John McPeake
Prudential Securities
"By using BrightStor Data Protection Solutions, we are able to fully back up and
restore our IT environment, including NetWare, UNIX, and Windows NT
automatically for our mission-critical systems (24 x 7). We see CA's storage
management products as the storage industry's cutting-edge solutions that
organizations of all sizes should have in their application portfolio."
Chaim Landsberg, CTO
Shaarey Zedek Medical Center
"The upcoming release of the next major version of CA's flagship distributed
systems management product, Unicenter, features advanced capabilities to support
diverse IT environments -- including mobile and wireless devices and .Net and
J2EE applications with a comprehensive and integrated set of functions. The new
release offers enhanced artificial intelligence and increased automation for
improved predictive management capabilities and a more modular structure that
supports robust integration and faster implementations resulting in higher ROI."

SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES
CA is as innovative in the community as it is in the high-tech industry. With a
fundamental desire to give back to the community, CA has found a way to apply
its focus on the next generation of technology to the next generation of
humanity.
[PHOTO OMITTED]
This community commitment has become a company-wide human mind-set that has
literally helped put smiles on children's faces and roofs over their heads
throughout the world. Take, for example, CA's support of The Smile Train, an
international charity launched in 1999 to correct cleft lips and palates in
children around the world. The Smile Train provides free surgery, free training
for doctors to perform the surgery, and research to find a cure for these
conditions.
Or consider CA's commitment to a basic need, such as shelter. Through Habitat
for Humanity, CA employees worldwide have worked side-by-side with members of
their communities to build homes.
And it doesn't stop there. CA strongly supports the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which has become the leading international
clearinghouse for information on missing children and the prevention of
victimization. Through donations of time, money, and its own advanced technology
solutions, CA enables NCMEC to easily manage mission-critical IT systems in
order to better focus on rebuilding lives.

Closer to home, CA's Digital Schoolhouse(R) in Islandia, New York, is aimed at
helping youths use technology as a dynamic educational resource.
CASE STUDY
UNICENTER HELPS NEWSDAY MEET DEADLINES AND SOLVE CRITICAL NETWORK ISSUES
NEWSDAY, a subsidiary of Tribune Co., is the fifth-largest metropolitan
newspaper in the country. This 60-year-old newspaper is the premier source of
local, national and international reporting for its market, and has been awarded
16 Pulitzer Prizes. As a daily newspaper with tight deadlines, it was critical
that NEWSDAY respond to system outages quickly, be proactive, and prevent
outages from occurring. NEWSDAY also needed to manage its IT assets more
efficiently, and with extensive detail.
NEWSDAY's IT department deployed Unicenter for its Networks and Systems, Remote
Control, Software Delivery, and Asset Management capabilities. Since then, they
have rapidly experienced impressive gains in productivity and efficiency.
NEWSDAY's IT department is now able to anticipate network events and take the
necessary steps to ensure users are not impacted. By using Remote Control to
manage its servers in remote locations, NEWSDAY dispatches technicians less
frequently. Software Delivery eliminated the need for supplemental IT services
for software deployment, improved response times for end-user requests, and
realized immediate cost savings.

MANAGING eBUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE NEW UNICENTER
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
IN THE WORLD OF eBUSINESS, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) AND THE INTERNET CONNECT
ALL OF US, PLAYING AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN BUSINESS PROCESSES. IN ADDITION TO
INTERNET START-UPS AND ECOMMERCE ENTREPRENEURS, MANY TRADITIONAL COMPANIES WITH
ESTABLISHED CUSTOMER BASES AND PARTNERSHIPS HAVE LEVERAGED IT ON AN END-TO-END
SCALE AND HAVE WEB-ENABLED THEIR BUSINESS. FOR MANY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE SERVICE
PROVIDERS (xSPs), IT IS THE BUSINESS. eBUSINESS ENABLES ORGANIZATIONS TO REACH A
VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED CUSTOMER BASE, BUT IT ALSO PRESENTS A NEW SET OF CHALLENGES:
o This dynamic business environment is constantly evolving as society
changes, new technologies emerge, and often-unpredictable ups and downs in
economic conditions occur. It is vital to keep up; yet few have the
resources to continually manage the diversity and rapid changes.
o eBusiness significantly expands the scope of IT operations. In the past,
organizations relied on IT to support certain daily business operations,
such as personnel directories, help desk proceedings, or electronic
communications, but the environment was typically an internal one. This is
not the case today. IT must now support an extended enterprise system
comprised of staff, customers, suppliers, partners, and remote workers in
order to be effective, and each element must be constantly available.
o The demand for fast, quality business service is stronger than ever in
today's competitive and volatile market, where a few seconds of downtime
can mean disaster. Downtime is unacceptable; if end users have enough time
to look elsewhere, they will. An organization must provide convenient and
powerful online connections with partners and suppliers so that
orders--and customer expectations--can be fulfilled in "Internet time."
The eBusiness infrastructure is the cornerstone of any business, and every
resource--from traditional IT to wireless and other pervasive computing
devices--must be managed in a cohesive, integrated fashion in order to deliver
24 x 7 availability and support. Managing the enterprise is not enough anymore.
The newest generation of solutions must manage the entire collaborative
infrastructure, from top to bottom, across platforms and applications, between
servers, customers, and partners, bridging all disparate IT and non-IT
resources. Organizations need to keep on top of change and stay in control, for
only the most stable environments will survive and prosper.
INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT: ESSENTIAL TO eBUSINESS SUCCESS
Successful business requires ongoing availability, reliability, and optimal
service. Achieving this goal demands cohesive and integrated management of the
underlying infrastructure.
Performance has a direct effect upon availability, reliability, service levels,
and ultimately, the bottom line. Systems must be able to operate effectively
under ever-changing workload levels, and the network must respond accordingly
--with no downtime. Since users and applications are geographically distributed
across a network,
the solution must monitor and manage all network components simultaneously. In
addition, system agents must monitor critical application servers for health and
availability across heterogeneous platforms such as UNIX, Solaris, Linux,
Windows 2000, HP-UX, mainframe, and so on.
Data typically comes from numerous disparate sources, making it difficult to
manage. In order to successfully monitor and collect management data, all
aspects of your databases, applications, and web servers must be managed.
Whether you are running databases such as Oracle and DB2 on a PC or on a
mainframe, they must be managed from a business process perspective and the
underlying systems must be administered for continuous availability. Meanwhile,
ERP applications such as SAP R/3 and PeopleSoft, groupware applications such as
Exchange and Lotus Notes as well as various homegrown applications must be
managed in the context of your unique environment on both granular and business
levels. Furthermore, you must monitor and manage websites and web servers
continuously, and detect and report potential problems before availability is
adversely impacted.
Today, eBusiness spans diverse platforms, servers, databases, desktops, laptops,
and handheld devices, as well as networks, intranets, extranets, and the
Internet. Managing all these IT resources can be overwhelming. Even seemingly
mundane tasks such as software installation and license management are
challenging. Without the proper management tools to proactively manage all IT
resources across this heterogeneous landscape, the chances of costly downtime
and interruptions in service can be dangerously high.
MANAGE THE eBUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE WITH UNICENTER
Just as new opportunities bring about new challenges, these challenges bring
about opportunities to find new solutions and better ways of managing business.
At Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA), we welcome the opportunity to
provide you with the most powerful solution designed specifically with eBusiness
in mind -- Unicenter.
The new Unicenter is CA's family of integrated eBusiness Infrastructure
Management solutions that uniquely bridge past, present, and future technology
with the expanding infrastructure of the digital economy. Unicenter ensures the
health and performance of all aspects of the eBusiness infrastructure, including
the systems, networks, databases, web resources, applications, and end-user
devices. Through the use of a flexible and enhanced architecture and
leading-edge technology such as advanced intelligence and visualization,
Unicenter delivers Internet-caliber scalability and administration in a modular,
easy-to-use design that grows with your needs across this increasingly
heterogeneous infrastructure. For example, Unicenter enables you to define a
cross-platform schedule that includes tasks on Windows 2000, UNIX, and OS/390,
then automatically enforces cross-platform job dependencies to ensure they
execute successfully. All of this makes CA's Unicenter family of solutions ideal
for any organization whose business depends on a "no excuses" infrastructure --
and that's every organization.

WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT UNICENTER
"THE NEW RELEASE OF UNICENTER, WITH ITS INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND NEW MODULAR
DESIGN, IS AN EXCELLENT SOLUTION FOR VIRTUALLY ANY ORGANIZATION THAT DEMANDS
CLOSE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF ITS INFRASTRUCTURE. THE CLOSE PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN KEYNOTE SYSTEMS AND CA WILL BENEFIT OUR MUTUAL CUSTOMERS BY DELIVERING
UNSURPASSED EASE AND ACCURACY OF MANAGING WEB APPLICATION PERFORMANCE AND
ENSURING THE ACCURATE DELIVERY OF IT SERVICES TO THE END USER."
UMANG GUPTA
CEO
KEYNOTE SYSTEMS
Unicenter revolutionizes eBusiness management by incorporating intelligence to
assist IT in managing their infrastructure throughout the family of products.
Capabilities include the extensive correlation and root-cause analysis that
isolates problems and makes sense of the thousands of events that are occurring;
historian, which rolls time back enabling administrators to easily review events
that lead up to a problem; and predictive management that looks ahead to
forecast problems and give advance warning to administrators with sufficient
time to remedy potential problems before they impact end users. These solutions
deliver unparalleled infrastructure management capabilities for your
organization.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
Unicenter integrates your environment -- from PDAs to mainframes -- to deliver
ongoing cross-platform infrastructure management. It also enables collaborative
eBusiness models of business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C),
eMarketplaces, Application Service Providers (ASPs), Managed Service Providers
(MSPs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and more, within and across the
extended enterprise.
MANAGE COLLABORATIVE eBUSINESS
Your business does not exist in a vacuum. In today's extended, global eBusiness
marketplace, the Internet connects organizations in unprecedented ways,
providing new possibilities, yet necessitating effective management of both
internal and external infrastructures.
For instance, your business may sell clothes over the Internet in a B2C
relationship while obtaining its merchandise from various manufacturers in a B2B
relationship. Your business then uses a third-party mailing/distribution company
to deliver goods to your customers. If communication falters at any point in
this supply chain, customers will not get their merchandise on time, and the
chance of their doing business with you again is highly unlikely.
Unicenter ensures the reliability and performance of your business initiatives
by managing every aspect of the eBusiness infrastructure, from the applications
to the customers and partners. By supporting employees, partners, suppliers, and
customers in this manner, Unicenter enables the establishment of permanent
and/or on-demand business relationships to quickly address the changing
requirements of the marketplace.
Through its new management architecture and extensive integration capabilities,
Unicenter blends business information with IT management information, thus
relating IT technology to business processes. Merging business information with
IT management information delivers a powerful advantage to every business as
they can see the true impact that problems in the infrastructure have on their
business services, customers, and partners.
ENSURE OPTIMAL DELIVERY OF eBUSINESS SERVICES
Service levels -- the pivotal point where business and IT meet -- play a
critical role in the success of any eBusiness venture, whether it's a dot-com,
xSP, or "click and mortar" enterprise. Today, every business is a service
provider, and end users determine the acceptable levels of service. In fact, a
violation of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can have tremendous financial
penalties. Even the greatest idea can fail if an organization cannot follow
through with its SLAs and accommodate its clients and partners quickly and
accurately.
Unicenter provides end-to-end cross-platform management of all the resources
that deliver eBusiness services including the web application infrastructure. By
managing all aspects of performance, including network, database, system, and
application response times, Unicenter delivers extensive management and
reporting of SLAs and performance contracts. This helps ensure optimal delivery
and compliance with these agreements, helping you to meet and exceed your
customer expectations.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
Moreover, Unicenter enables you to manage eBusiness according to end-users'
needs, making it easier to attract and retain customers. By approaching
management from both IT and business, as well as the provider and customer
perspective, you can take proactive measures to improve availability,
reliability, and response times, thereby increasing user satisfaction.
PLUG IN AND GO WITH ADAPTIVE MODULAR SOLUTIONS: WHAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT
In today's ever-changing electronic environment, the solutions you implement
today may become obsolete tomorrow. When it comes time to upgrade, that
technology may not integrate easily with your system, and you may be forced to
reengineer your infrastructure.
Unicenter alleviates this all-too-familiar situation. Unicenter is a family of
scalable, modular infrastructure management solutions designed for easy
implementation and use, fitting right into any existing environment with the
ability to integrate together perfectly. It allows IT to manage its present
needs and expand to manage its future needs -- all with tight integration.
MODULAR. The value-based modular packaging of Unicenter makes implementation,
deployment, and management as easy as possible. With Unicenter, you purchase
focused solutions based on your unique management needs. Since each component
contains a powerful set of management services that are used throughout the
family, there's no need to purchase separate products to make integration happen
-- it works out-of-the-box.This flexible, modular design allows each solution to
run stand-alone, or when installed together, combines to provide a seamlessly
integrated management suite.
WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT UNICENTER
"CA CONTINUES TO BE A MARKET-MAKER IN THE MANAGEMENT SPACE AND, WITH
UNICENTER(R) 3.0, JUST UPPED THE ANTE. CA ARCHITECTED UNICENTER 3.0 TO NOT ONLY
ADDRESS TODAY'S ISSUES IN CHALLENGE-SIZED CHUNKS DETERMINED BY CUSTOMER
REQUIREMENTS -- BUT TO EXPLOIT NEW TECHNOLOGIES AS THEY BECOME VIABLE. WITH A
HERITAGE OF SUCCESS, FIRST-RATE FUNCTIONALITY THAT WORKS TODAY, AND A SOLUTION
SET THAT FUTURE-PROOFS MANAGEMENT, CA HAS ANOTHER WINNER HERE."
VALERIE O'CONNELL
MANAGING DIRECTOR

INTEGRATED. Each Unicenter component features a multitude of state-of-the-art
tools based on time-tested, award-winning CA technology. Unicenter components
provide common operations and integration "as needed," to monitor and manage
your infrastructure. These expansive services, also used by CA's security and
storage solutions, include event management, calendaring, configuration, service
level data captures, and a data bus for communications.
Unicenter provides a single development environment in which to integrate
applications developed in any language, from Java to legacy COBOL. Compatible
with all major standards, Unicenter enables simplified integration of
cross-platform, cross-enterprise, and cross-application data and logic into your
managed environment. The Unicenter environment can be easily customized to add
unique customer requirements. A powerful Software Development Kit (SDK) provides
additional tools to help you develop and integrate applications into the
Unicenter environment, to leverage information from any source without re-coding
or new data entry.
As IT and your business evolve, the scalable technology automatically conforms
accordingly, eliminating the need to reengineer environments or perform
time-consuming, costly upgrades. The ability to use one solution to address a
broad, continually growing customer base helps to improve efficiency and
increase revenue potential.
MANAGE STRATEGICALLY VIA ADVANCED, INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Every component of Unicenter features advanced intelligence, visualization, and
personalization technology to enable easy, efficient administration and
strategic planning to shape your organization's future. This results in tangible
business benefits, including:
o Improved problem resolution times.
o Streamlined management and training costs.
o Improved overall service levels.
o Enhanced return-on-investment (ROI), including better allocation of resources.
INTELLIGENT, ADVANCED PROBLEM ISOLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
Unlike traditional enterprise management systems, Unicenter exploits
intelligence to help IT administration staff and shorten problem resolution
times. Advanced root-cause analysis, correlation, and event management identify
problems, while historian features enable you to look back and trace how
problems have developed.
But forewarned is forearmed, and with that in mind, Unicenter was designed to
predict developing problems, enabling IT to identify the cause and correct them
before they impact business. CA's U.S. patented, self-learning, predictive
neural network Neugents(R) technology is embedded within Unicenter to accurately
predict future issues and suggest courses of action, technology that avoids
problems rather than discovers and cures.
ADVANCED VISUALIZATION AND PERSONALIZATION
Every IT resource contributes to services that are ultimately delivered to an
internal or external end user. However, it is difficult, if not impossible, to
monitor every single resource at once. Unicenter simplifies this task by
providing a holistic view of your infrastructure's performance via a
personalized management portal
and enhanced graphical capabilities. Complete management of all resources is
available from a web browser, and these customized, lifelike views require
virtually no training to comprehend.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
With its intuitive Real World Interface(TM), Unicenter provides a centralized,
multidimensional view of the status of numerous complex elements that comprise
the enterprise. You can define customized Business Process Views(TM) (BPVs),
which provide business-centric management by allowing you to group all IT assets
-- from mainframe to UNIX to Windows 2000 --related to a particular business
process (such as payroll, inventory control, or accounting). BPVs enable you to
view the enterprise according to user-defined criteria from either your
distributed or mainframe environment, and drill down to monitor the situation at
hand rather than an elemental view of critical resources. This ability to "see"
your environment from a business perspective makes management and maintenance
easy and efficient, significantly minimizing system downtime.
Unicenter Explorer and GUI components integrate and host all user interface
components and plug-ins. Industry-leading visualization and reporting (including
Java-based GUI, 2-D, 3-D, and portal views) simplify the complexity of the IT
infrastructure. Advanced visualization capabilities include the ability to pan,
zoom, expand, and collapse, to quickly explore the enterprise and select the
level of detail desired. And for administrators on the move, Unicenter provides
the ability to manage the infrastructure from their Personal Data Assistants
(PDAs), ensuring they are always in touch.
These capabilities make managing your infrastructure much easier, which can help
reduce training and implementation time and costs, enable less-experienced
personnel to assist in IT management, and allow better allocation of valuable IT
resources.
INTUITIVE, PERSONALIZED VIEWS VIA PORTALS
Web-based portal technology provides intuitive information sources for both
technical and business-focused administration. The Unicenter management portal
offers the ability to present Unicenter information in a highly personalized
manner, according to individual settings.
This empowers users to save time by seeing only the information they want, in
the desired format, providing the insight they need to accurately gauge existing
and future conditions.
UNICENTER INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION AREAS
Since no two organizations are exactly alike, Unicenter offers an array of
integrated components focused on your unique eBusiness objectives, yet powerful
enough to manage the entire infrastructure from end-to-end, ensuring 24 x 7
reliability and availability.

SECURITY SOFTWARE THAT ENABLES TRUSTED eBUSINESS
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
THE INTERNET HAS OPENED UNLIMITED AVENUES OF OPPORTUNITY BY ENABLING
ORGANIZATIONS TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND SHARE INFORMATION ON A GLOBAL BASIS.
ONLINE BUSINESS HAS BROADENED MARKET REACH BY ENABLING BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS,
BUSINESS-TO-CONSUMER, AND EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATION. WHILE eBUSINESS HAS BEEN KEY
IN PROVIDING THESE VIRTUALLY BOUNDLESS OPPORTUNITIES, IT ALSO BRINGS NEW LEVELS
OF SECURITY CONCERNS TO THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE. IT EXPOSES VALUABLE CORPORATE
INFORMATION, MISSION-CRITICAL BUSINESS APPLICATIONS, AND CONSUMERS' PRIVATE
INFORMATION TO MORE RISK THAN EVER BEFORE. HACKERS BREAKING IN AT ANY POINT IN
THE BUSINESS COULD PUT A COMPANY'S DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS IN JEOPARDY,
THREATENING ITS INTEGRITY, AND POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN FINANCIAL LOSS AND RUIN.
EXPOSURE FROM MULTIPLE PARTNERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEE BASE IS RAPIDLY INCREASING AS
EXTRANETS CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND MATURE.
Today's high-speed business environment must provide online business services
for customers, business partners, and employees that are both personalized and
secure. eBusinesses must allow access to resources while protecting valuable
assets and ensuring consumers' privacy. Inadequate tools, compounded by the
aggressive rate of Internet adoption, and the exponential growth of end users
must be addressed. Organizations wishing to successfully compete in the Internet
arena need the proper tools and strategy to secure this environment. They need a
comprehensive security solution to ensure they can conduct activities and
transactions with trust--trusting the identity of their online customers, while
trusting that their systems, applications, and networks are free of viruses and
safe from intruders.
AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING eBUSINESS SECURITY SOLUTION
Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) eTrust solves all your security
concerns by offering industrial-strength security solutions across the virtual
enterprise. eTrust offers the comprehensive security capabilities needed to
proactively secure your environment, including web access control, PKI,
centralized user administration, enterprise-wide cross-platform server access
controls, VPN, malicious code and antivirus protection, intrusion detection,
integrated directories, and complete mainframe protection. This family of
products can be implemented individually or as a solution set, delivering
proven, best-of-breed functionality to secure all enterprise-wide resources from
the browser to the mainframe, and to manage the existing security
infrastructure.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
eTrust solutions leverage your current environment, enabling you to painlessly
snap-in security features wherever needed. Tight integration
among eTrust solutions provides bulletproof security across the enterprise and
the flexibility to incrementally adopt other eTrust solutions with the assurance
they will seamlessly work together. For example, eTrust(TM) Audit consolidates
logs from eTrust products, and eTrust(TM) Policy Compliance(TM) validates eTrust
security settings.
eTrust delivers leading-edge solutions that interface with today's technologies.
It uses an open, standards-based architecture, allowing integration with other
CA technologies, including Jasmine(R) Portal, as well as other vendors'
technologies. For example, in the area of user authentication, eTrust(TM) Single
Sign-On(TM) (SSO) and eTrust(TM) Web Access Control support the use of
ETrust(TM) PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), out-of-the-box and also support the
use of certificates from other standards-based PKI vendors. The underlying
eTrust authentication engine allows for use of smart cards, password tokens,
biometric devices, and passwords.
In the area of directory technology, eTrust(TM) OCSPro supports the requirements
of global eBusiness, such as online financial systems, which require realtime
checks on users' certificates. eTrust offers eTrust(TM) Directory,(TM) which
provides a uniquely scalable and high-performance distributed directory solution
for eBusiness.
Many eTrust products ship with LDAP interfaces to provide out-of-the-box
interoperation with other directory technologies. eTrust(TM) Admin exploits LDAP
to manage users and resources in eTrust(TM) CA-ACF2(R) Security and eTrust(TM)
CA-Top Secret(R) Security. In addition, both eTrust CA-ACF2 and eTrust CA-Top(R)
Secret provide a full-functioned eTrust(TM) LDAP Server for OS/390 and z/OS to
allow distributed applications to leverage proven security policies stored in
these mainframe solutions.
Built with open standards and designed with centralized cross-platform views of
security information, eTrust seamlessly manages security to confidently conduct
safe eBusiness across the enterprise. The eTrust family of products are grouped
into three solution sets--eTrust(TM) Access, eTrust(TM) Defense, and eTrust(TM)
Management--each designed to focus on a functional area of security.
ACCESS
Today's enterprise demands personalized, yet secure access for all types of
internal and roaming users, business partners, and web-based eCommerce
customers. All are vital to the success of your business, and all require fast
access to resources and information, which in many cases are the most valued
assets of your business.
The eTrust Access solution set provides policy-based control to ensure that the
right people have access to the right information enterprise-wide. This solution
set enables both Internet transactions and Internet-based corporate data access
by using digital certificate-based

authentication and digital signature supported by realtime validation of
certificate status, VPN, and PKI architecture. PKI is a widely accepted standard
for ensuring the authenticity of users, integrity of data, and non-repudiation
of transactions. The standard facilitates safe eBusiness across open networks.
Cross-enterprise and cross-application directory services are needed to provide
user authentication and validation required for personal access. Directories
serve as a consolidation point to store and manage data that is used by several
applications and network resources--data such as user profiles, security
policies, and resource configurations. The eTrust Access solution set includes:
o eTRUST DIRECTORY. A highly scalable solution for large-scale,
business-critical directory service applications. It provides a powerful,
extensive directory services infrastructure, for managing complex,
distributed information. Through built-in schemata for the market-leading
LDAP-enabled infrastructures, such as NetWare, Notes, and Active
Directory, eTrust Directory consolidates existing LDAP islands into an
enterprise-scalable backbone directory.
o eTRUST OCSPro. Provides a scalable and distributed Online Certificate
Status Protocol Responder implementation. It delivers application-specific
policy processing, distributed and load-balanced throughput management,
and strong integration with directory and PKI elements. eTrust OCSPro
works with existing certificate authority solutions to meet the stringent
security requirements of Identrus.
o eTRUST PKI. Offers a reliable, trusted mechanism for business
transactions. It delivers rapid integration with enterprise systems and
provides the enterprise administration capabilities that are critical to
effective implementation. eTrust PKI is specifically designed to provide
strong authentication and privacy for eTrust Single Sign-On and eTrust Web
Access Control. eTrust SSO and eTrust Web Access Control work with eTrust
PKI seamlessly to provide secure access for enterprises. eTrust PKI works
out-of-the-box with industry-leading smart cards and tokens.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
eTrust PKI IS ONE OF THE CORE PRODUCTS OF THE NEWLY INTRODUCED ACCESS SOLUTION
SET. IT ALLOWS FOR QUICK SUPPORT AND DEPLOYMENT OF DIGITAL CERTIFICATES.
o eTRUST VPN. Virtual Private Network (VPN) transparently secures all
application traffic, centrally manages all servers, and provides detailed
audit logs for comprehensive analysis through drill-down querying and
reporting. It creates inexpensive and fast links between corporate
intranets while securing Internet connections.
o eTRUST WEB ACCESS CONTROL. Enables browser-based access to web
applications using a wide range of authentication methods. The user
experience is enhanced with a single authentication to all permitted
applications. Views can be user-customized delivering a personalized
experience. Backed by a highly efficient eTrust Directory, an X.500
directory service, and eTrust PKI--a built-in trusted digital
certificate technology, eTrust Web Access Control is open to work with
customers' existing directories or PKIs, ensuring smooth eBusiness growth
with strong security and unparalleled scalability.
DEFENSE AGAINST INTERNET THREATS
Using Internet technologies to transact eBusiness and share information over
both third-party and public Internet infrastructures, exposes a company's entire
network to the outside world, making it vulnerable to a number of external
attacks. In a few brief moments, private consumer information, product pricing
information, and strategic market plans can be stolen or destroyed.
Messaging systems provide an effective vehicle for spreading viruses that may go
undetected for days or weeks. Left undetected, deliberate virus attacks can
destroy critical information assets, completely disabling the business. At a
minimum, viruses can be a nuisance that impedes end-user productivity.
The eTrust Defense solution set detects, analyzes, warns, prevents, and cures
attacks--be it malicious mobile code, worms, viruses, or hackers attempting to
destroy and bring down your eBusiness. Through ICSA-certified firewalls that
provide both perimeter and internal protection, award-winning antivirus
technology, and proactive realtime attack intervention, your enterprise will
have complete protection coverage. These solutions secure Internet
communications and protect against the deployment and execution of Distributed
Denial of Service attacks. The eTrust Defense solution set includes:
o eTRUST ANTIVIRUS.(TM)Provides realtime, enterprise-wide protection against
today's most serious security threat--viruses. This powerful antivirus
solution detects and cures viruses automatically. It works out-of-the-box
with organizations' mail servers and automatically distributes signatures
from the gateway server down to the desktop.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
o eTRUST(TM) CONTENT INSPECTION. Isolates malicious code activity and
provides realtime attack intervention, including automatic detection,
blocking, and notification of all types of malicious content.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"CA's eTRUST AUDIT IS A HIGH-QUALITY SOLUTION FOR EVENT LOG COLLECTION AND
ANALYSIS IN A MULTI-PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT. THE ABILITY TO COLLECT AUDIT DATA FROM
HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS, PERFORM DETAILED EVENT ANALYSIS, AND
SEND ADMINISTRATOR ALERTS IN NEAR REALTIME IS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL FOR
MAINTAINING SECURITY IN TODAY'S COMPLEX eBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS."

o eTRUST(TM) FIREWALL. Uniformly enforces security policies throughout the
enterprise, safeguarding all mission-critical network resources. eTrust
Firewall goes beyond boundary protection, extending internally to secure
vital network segments while protecting the perimeter of your enterprise.
o eTRUST(TM) INTRUSION DETECTION.(TM) Combines surveillance and alert
capabilities that help stop attacks and abuses. This powerful solution
takes the "detect, alert, prevent" approach to safeguarding your
network--providing real-time, non-intrusive detection, policy-based
alerts, and automatic prevention. eTrust Intrusion Detection works with
eTrust Firewall, as well as with CheckPoint and Cisco.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
MANAGEMENT OF THE ENTIRE SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Today's highly sophisticated eBusiness infrastructure spans from operating
systems to applications to worldwide Internet and extranets to LANs and wireless
handheld communication devices. Computer networks have expanded to include more
machines and applications, and the number of users continues to grow
exponentially as the boundary line of the enterprise continues to blur.
The introduction of emerging technologies increases the complexity of the IT
environment. While there are many individual security tools for each area, there
is a lack of comprehensive coverage, since point product solutions acquired from
multiple vendors do not integrate seamlessly with one another. For example,
while some tools offer a solution for Internet security, they do not address the
needs of the traditional mainframe or client/server system. Security
technologies proliferate within most organizations, and each has its own
administration tools, user databases, and logs.
Without a central management view, these variegated solutions do not work
together nor do they work across platforms, thereby resulting in multiple points
of management, audit, and exposure. Non-integrated security leads to fragmented
security policies leaving gaping holes in the infrastructure that can be
remedied only by costly integration and ongoing support. Organizations need a
comprehensive set of security management solutions to manage the entire
enterprise from the laptop to the
mainframe, allowing information management and services delivery via the
Internet with high levels of confidence and security.
Rather than replace the existing security infrastructure, it is critical that
eBusiness security management solutions monitor and manage today's security
environments using consistent visualization across diverse technologies.
The eTrust Management solution set provides a complete, cross-platform,
cost-efficient security solution that safeguards systems from wireless devices
to the mainframe. Integrated, policy-based and fully scalable, eTrust security
infrastructure management simplifies the monitoring of security events by
automating routine management tasks and automatically enforcing security
policies. Strong audit capabilities easily manage and account for distributed
information across the enterprise. eTrust provides a common management
foundation that integrates existing and emerging technologies while securing all
eBusiness resources, including networks, systems, applications, databases, and
the Web. The eTrust Management solution set includes:
o eTRUST ACCESS CONTROL. Provides an essential eBusiness element--regulating
access to critical business assets. eTrust Access Control defines policies
that prohibit unauthorized system access, thus "hardening" server
operating systems.
o eTRUST ADMIN. Provides central provisioning of users and resources across
enterprise security systems and directories.
o eTRUST AUDIT. Collects enterprise-wide security and systems audit
information using a scalable, multi-tier collection architecture. It
consolidates data from platforms, including UNIX, Windows NT servers,
eTrust CA-ACF2, eTrustCA-TopSecret, RACF, Oracle, and other eTrust
products, and stores it in a central database for easy access and
reporting.
o eTRUST CA-ACF2 SECURITY AND eTRUST CA-TOP SECRET SECURITY (INCLUDES eTRUST
LDAP SERVER FOR OS/390 AND z/OS) help ensure the integrity and security of
critical information assets, and enable controlled sharing of data and
computer resources on the mainframe. They fully support features such as
UNIX System Services, digital certificates and SSL, and LDAP. Built-in,
comprehensive administrative and reporting tools, along with detailed
security event logging capabilities, simplify the management of users and
resources and enable comprehensive out-of-the-box auditing. Flexible
implementation options and seamless protection are available across all
major mainframe operating systems. Both solutions are integrated with
eTrust security on distributed platforms.
o eTRUST POLICY COMPLIANCE. Enables organizations to prepare against
unauthorized usage or attacks by identifying potential weak points in an
organization's security policies, automatically generating appropriate
corrections, and monitoring the network of systems and databases on an
ongoing basis.
o eTRUST SINGLE SIGN-ON. Automates secure access to both browser-based
applications as well as client/server-based applications through a single
sign-on, thus eliminating the security headaches--and
vulnerabilities--associated with multiple IDs and passwords. eTrust Single
Sign-On decreases the workload on the help desk while enhancing employee
satisfaction and productivity.

COMPUTER STORAGE NEEDS HAVE EVOLVED FROM SIMPLY BACKING UP A TAPE TO PULLING
DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE, AT ANY TIME, AND MANAGING
THESE FUNCTIONS FROM A CENTRAL VANTAGE POINT. TWO DECADES AGO, STORAGE ON THE

SOLUTION IS NOT MANAGING ALL OF YOUR STORAGE, THEN IT IS NOT A SOLUTION AT ALL.
AS THE VOLUME OF DATA ESCALATES, SO DOES THE NEED FOR STORAGE-RELATED HARDWARE.

YET ANOTHER CHALLENGE STEMS FROM MANAGING THE STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE ITSELF. THE
EMERGENCE OF NEW BUSINESS MODELS DEMANDS NON-STOP APPLICATION AVAILABILITY.
ORGANIZATIONS NEED STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS, SUCH AS DATA
REPLICATION, TO ENSURE END USERS CAN WORK UNINTERRUPTED IN THE EVENT OF A
CRITICAL PROBLEM.
The challenge of managing data, resources, and the storage infrastructure become
further complicated in today's business climate of shrinking staff and
decreasing budgets. Organizations competing in eBusiness today need
comprehensive storage solutions that:
o Embrace data growth.
o Optimize eBusiness performance by ensuring data availability and
integrity.
o Centralize enterprise storage management across all heterogeneous network
protocols and operating platforms.
o Maximize the use of existing IT and storage resources while integrating
technologically advanced solutions, such as serverless and online "hot
file" backup.
o Offer end-to-end, reliable storage solutions that protect the entire
eBusiness environment.
While many of these requirements have been in existence, no one software company
has developed a complete solution that addresses all of these challenges until
today. As a leader in storage solutions, Computer Associates International, Inc.
(CA) has developed BrightStor, delivering end-to-end integrated, cross-platform
storage management solutions. These proven solutions play an important role in
CA's eBusiness Infrastructure Management strategy.

COMPETING FORCES CHANGING STORAGE
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
THE EMERGENCE OF NEW BUSINESS MODELS, TECHNOLOGIES, AND APPLICATIONS HAVE
RESULTED IN NEW STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND INCREASED STORAGE MANAGEMENT COSTS. AT
A TIME WITH DIMINISHING BUDGETS AND A SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED IT PERSONNEL,
ORGANIZATIONS MUST ADOPT A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY TO MEET TODAY'S STORAGE
MANAGEMENT NEEDS.
STORAGE MANAGEMENT ESSENTIALS
As eBusiness offers many new opportunities in today's competitive online market,
it also creates a whole new set of challenges. Failure to manage storage
resources effectively can leave organizations vulnerable to misplaced data, lead
to the interruption of business-critical activities, and result in
lower-than-expected ROI. Effective storage management solutions fine-tune an
organization's storage infrastructure enabling eBusiness applications and
processes to perform at optimal efficiency.
EMBRACE DATA GROWTH
An effectual storage management solution needs to anticipate unforeseen,
short-term data surges as well as long-term storage growth needs. For example, a
global catalog marketer may receive thousands of responses to a promotion. A
well-managed organization proactively plans for these increased storage needs,
enabling its system to remain responsive 24 x 7 x 365, thereby reaping the
benefits of satisfied customers. In the long-term, storage management solutions
must be scalable to support more users and new applications while maximizing the
use of existing storage resources. As organizations increasingly move from
traditional brick and mortar storefronts to a realtime, online Web presence,
their IT infrastructures must be able to support the increased data traffic and
user workload of the web-enabled business.

ENSURE PERFORMANCE THROUGH DATA AVAILABILITY
A business' success largely depends on its responsiveness to the needs of its
customers. The inability to guarantee data availability and integrity will
ultimately result in business failure. For an online broker, a service
interruption stemming from data corruption can result in financial ruin. Data
must always be available and reliable while applications must be easy-to-access
without any delayed responses. Now, more than ever before, a seamless backup and
recovery system is a necessary component to keep businesses up and running.
CENTRALIZE CONTROL OF HETEROGENEOUS IT RESOURCES
eBusiness extends across distributed and centralized environments as well as
multiple operating platforms. Effective storage management solutions require a
centralized view of an organization's storage assets, wherever they reside. To
manage effectively, IT administrators need consolidated information concerning
critical storage resources across different platforms and different network
protocols in a flexible, easy-to-use format. Accordingly, consistent standards
and policies must be applied across platforms and locations, maximizing existing
hardware, software, and staff resources.
LEVERAGING LEGACY WITH INNOVATION
The explosive surge in eBusiness gives rise to a demanding and complex storage
environment. To effectively compete with an online presence, an optimal storage
solution must fully leverage an organization's existing IT investments while
being extensible to integrate new technologies.
END-TO-END STORAGE MANAGEMENT
Organizations need a proven, comprehensive suite of storage solutions that work
seamlessly together to protect the entire enterprise. These solutions must cover
every aspect of an organization's storage requirements, from data protection to
centralized management, offering complete end-to-end storage management.
STORAGE MANAGEMENT WITHOUT BORDERS
Traditionally, storage management was:
o Closed and vendor-specific
o Device and platform-centric
o Hardware oriented
o Reactive rather than proactive
Today's organizations need to step up to a new kind of thinking and examine a
fresh, new approach to challenges in the marketplace. eBusiness requires storage
management that is:
o Open
o Heterogeneous
o Distributed
o Focused on business-critical applications
o Centrally-managed
o Intelligent, policy-driven

JASMINE OFFERS POWERFUL, INTEGRATED eBUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS.
TRANSFORMING INFORMATION INTO KNOWLEDGE
Data is the one asset that is unique to an organization. Turning raw data into
useable information that provides value to the business is a multifaceted
challenge. Organizations must collect, store, and manage vast amounts of
information found in diverse sources such as email, spreadsheets, documents, and
the Internet. They must employ advanced analysis to extract knowledge from this
information and generate clear, easy-to-understand reports that can be shared
across the organization.
GETTING THE RIGHT INFORMATION TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Organizations need to give employees, partners, and customers access to the
applications and information they need to do their work. This information needs
to be centrally managed and offer push/pull capabilities. Designed to be
customizable, and easy-to-use, this solution should enable users to concentrate
on the information they need, rather than the applications that provide the
information.
USING KNOWLEDGE TO OPEN DOORS
Business knowledge goes beyond keeping employees, partners, and customers
informed. This knowledge acts as an intelligent platform to identify new
opportunities. For example, by analyzing buying patterns and forecasting demand,
cross-selling or up-selling opportunities are identified. Once gathered, this
information allows customers and business partners to connect with products and
data in a single glance, using images, sound, video, and animation.
As an organization's eBusiness grows, relationships with customers need to be
managed more efficiently. Consumer and partner interactions must meet their
individual needs, offer sound purchase suggestions, and deliver personalized
results quickly. Discovering the solutions to meet these challenges is paramount
to increasing revenue and speeding your return on investment.

PERSONALIZED AND FOCUSED VIEW OF INFORMATION
Jasmine(R) Portal is a secure, scalable, advanced enterprise information portal
(EIP) that provides a personalized, consolidated view of information,
applications, and web-enabled content. It has a completely open architecture
that enables an organization to create, deliver, and consume all forms of Web
content -- from static pages to dynamic, interactive applications.
Jasmine Portal integrates multiple information sources and applications -- such
as documents, email, reporting and analysis tools, and the Web -- thereby
providing access to meaningful content from one eBusiness Workplace. It allows
users to create one or more personalized views such as Marketing, Sales, or
Procurement, and obtain customized information relevant to their varied roles
and activities with a single logon. Through discussion forums, it enables
business partners and co-workers to share information in real time allowing
concurrent dialogs about any aspect of their business processes. Jasmine Portal
allows companies to interact seamlessly around the world with localized access
in many languages.
PERFECTING THE "ONLINE EXPERIENCE" WITH NEUGENTS(R) TECHNOLOGY
By leveraging CA's advanced, U.S. patented Neugents technology and proven rules
and inference engines, organizations can deploy unique, intelligent solutions.
These powerful eBusiness applications enable an enterprise to predict end-user
needs, suggest new selling opportunities, and dynamically customize the user
interface to achieve greater intimacy with customers, partners, and suppliers.
CA's predictive analysis solutions enable organizations to quickly develop and
extend applications with intelligent components that can be reused and shared by
multiple business functions or processes. For example, an insurance company can
build a knowledge base to suggest the policy most likely to be accepted by a
customer. The same knowledge base can be used by a predictive model to empower
the sales department to cross-sell or up-sell other products or services to the
same customers.
Visualization adds a new dimension to decision making by improving the
productivity of knowledge workers and their ability to realize value in data
marts, data warehouses, and eCommerce functions. By condensing business
information into an intuitive, easy-to-understand reality, data visualization
quickly and effectively turns volumes of data into useful knowledge. The results
can be used to increase ROI and drive cost efficiencies.
TOTALLY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
