John Swainson Quotations

With this acquisition, CA will be the only company to address the management of applications, IT assets and users across all hardware and software, from the mainframe to the distributed environment.

Our new voice in the marketplace reflects the transformation underway at CA and the unique opportunity we have in the industry. The brand focuses on CA's strengths in helping its customers unify and simplify the management of enterprise-wide IT, and we can do this better than anyone else. Our technology vision takes an integrated suite-based focus, and we're delivering products towards this vision today.

These are the fastest growing segments, and are markets in which CA can take a lead. I want us to be the category leader or number-two in each space we operate in, and be seen as mindshare leader and as an innovator.

Changes like this take time and despite the best planning are never as swift or as smooth as we'd like. We've made incredible improvements the last three quarters.

Our results for the quarter were not in line with our expectations.

They are wrong. Just look at the numbers. Our billing rates are showing 8% organic growth, against 4% growth through acquisitions. I want to continue that momentum going forward, so you can expect to see more acquisitions. It makes good business sense, and is a good use of the cash we generate.
