Results
Public Cloud solutions can be a great asset if used effectively. CA Process Automation provides the all
important integration points to the cloud vendors and has scalability and reliability built in it’s design to
be able to support the large virtual data centers companies are looking to run on the cloud. With the help
of CA Process Autmation the IT teams within CA have been able to make their Cloud migration journey a
non-event.
The solutions we have talked about during this session have helped CA swiftly execute a cloud first
strategy for hosting its internal applications and have been able to sustain the operations with very
small set of admins.
