CA Technologies announced CA Service Management, a solution that puts business users at the center of its strategy and advances key aspects of user experience, mobility and collaboration to drive better engagement between IT teams and employees.
Today’s business users have a much higher expectation for a modern service experience, shaped by the rapid workplace adoption of consumer applications such as Google, Evernote and Dropbox. Unfortunately, IT organizations that fail to address this continue to be hampered by ‘shadow IT’, dissatisfaction and negative perceptions of IT teams.
The risk of continued disengagement with IT requires a strong response and CA Service Management addresses this challenge head on.
“Modern business applications need to deliver a level of user experience and excitement which drives greater value for the organization as a whole,” said Lokesh Jindal, GM, IT Business Management, CA Technologies. “IT organizations must meet these expectations to drive adoption and value from their IT investments.”
CA Service Management empowers IT to successfully close the gap between user expectations and current IT realities by delivering:
- A unified end-user experience for employees to access services, support and assets
- Intuitive, customizable mobile support center apps for Apple iOS and Android
- Powerful, automated self-service, collaboration and knowledge-sharing
"Sophisticated service management doesn't have to be complex," says Dennis Drogseth, VP of Research, EMA. "CA Technologies demonstrates this with their laser-focus on improving the experience of business consumers as they access IT services as well as their commitment to make mature ITSM processes and technologies easier to adopt for their customers. CA’s commitment to making service management easy and accessible is refreshing in an industry still too often lost to functional fragmentation and cobbled architectural complexity.”
Thousands of organizations — including large enterprises and many of the world’s largest service providers — rely on CA IT Service Management solutions to optimize the service experience for hundreds of thousands of end-users. In this release, CA Technologies extends its enterprise-grade solution with advanced high availability for 24x7 operation, simplified asset management and other capabilities which increase process maturity while reducing the complexity and cost of IT support operations.
"As business users become increasingly dependent on IT and mobility, anytime/anywhere self-service has become a fundamental requirement for individual productivity and business performance," said Brian McGushin, CA Practice Leader at Stefanini, a global provider of technology-based business solutions. ”CA Service Management will enhance the self-service experience we provide to our outsourcing clients and to our internal staff.”

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
