Our company

Overview

CA is the world's leading independent enterprise information technology (IT) management
software company. Our software and expertise unify and simplify complex IT environments--
in a secure way--across the enterprise for greater business results. Our customers use our
products and solutions to manage systems, networks, security, storage, applications and
databases securely and dynamically.

Founded in 1974, CA today is a global company with more than 13,000 employees. Our
global headquarters are located in the United States and we have 150 offices in more than
45 countries. We serve the majority of the Forbes Global 2000 companies, as well as
government entities, educational institutions and thousands of other companies in diverse
industries worldwide. We are driving our next level of growth through our four-part strategy of
product development, leveraging partners, global expansion and strategic acquisitions--all
with the goal of helping our customers realize the full power of IT to drive their business.

We license our products principally to large IT service providers, financial services
companies, governmental agencies, retailers, manufacturers, educational institutions, and
healthcare institutions. These customers typically maintain IT infrastructures that are both
complex and central to their objectives for operational excellence.

We offer our software products and solutions directly to our customers through our direct
sales force and indirectly through global systems integrators, managed service providers,
technology partners, Enterprise IT Management value-added resellers and distribution and
volume partners. We generate revenue from the following sources: license fees--licensing
our products on a right-to-use basis; maintenance fees--providing customer technical support
and product enhancements; and service fees--providing professional services such as
product implementation, consulting and education.

Under our business model, we offer customers a wide range of licensing options, including
the flexibility to license software under month-to-month licenses or to fix their costs by
committing to longer-term agreements. Licenses sold for most of our software products permit
customers to change their software product mix as their business and technology needs
change and includes the right to receive software products in the future within defined product
lines for no additional fee, commonly referred to as unspecified future software products. In
such instances, we do not have vendor-specific objective evidence for the fair value of the
undelivered elements, and we are therefore required under GAAP to recognize revenue from
such license

agreements evenly on a monthly basis (also known as ratably) over the license term.
Maintenance fees are also recognized ratably over the term of the license.

A relatively small portion of our revenue is generated from licenses based on a perpetual or
up-front revenue recognition model, under which the entire contract amount for software
license fees is recognized as revenue at the outset of the license term (or "up-front").
