CA Cited as a Leader by Independent Research Firm in Records Management
July 1, 2009
CA has announced it was named a “Leader” in the records management market, according to an independent report: “The Forrester Wave: Records Management, Q2 2009,” Forrester Research, Inc., June 2009.
CA was among eight companies invited by Forrester to participate in the report, which evaluated records management products across 89 criteria. CA had the highest score for “Strategy,” and top scores across multiple criteria, including: physical records management; policy and file plan support; reporting and monitoring; and eDiscovery and litigation support for its current offering. Specifically, Forrester evaluated CA Records Manager 12.5.
According to Forrester, “CA Records Manager, originating from the vendor’s 2006 acquisition of MDY Group International, is a key element in CA’s information governance suite, which also includes eDiscovery and message archiving offerings. In addition to strong physical records management support, CA Records Manager offers an FRM (Federated Records Management) framework and packaged integrations to other repositories.”
Forrester stated that “the product may be a good fit for many enterprises, especially those seeking retention management capabilities across multiple content and application types. CA’s broad legal risk mitigation portfolio and the product’s solid physical and electronic records management capabilities make it a leading candidate for enterprise shortlist consideration.”
CA Records Manager is a powerful solution for managing, controlling and discovering corporate content across the enterprise. By automating manual record keeping processes, CA Records Manager helps customers save time and money while helping them to meet strict compliance requirements and best practice standards. CA Records Manager is the first records management application to be certified by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) against version 3 of the U.S. DoD 5015.2 standard, which provides for greater data security and integrity. The DOD 5015.2 has become the de facto benchmark for records management products, particularly in the U.S.
“CA’s knowledge and expertise has enabled us to be at the forefront when it comes to delivering an information governance platform that addresses a myriad of compliance, legal and regulatory requirements,” said Galina Datskovsky, Ph.D., CRM, senior vice president and general manager of Information Governance at CA. “We are enormously pleased that Forrester has recognized us as a leader in records management.”
