CA Technologies Appoints Andrew Smith to Lead UK & Ireland

Published 26th July 2010

Datchet, UK July 5th, 2010 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced the appointment of Andrew Smith as Director of Sales, UK and Ireland Public Sector business. In this role, Smith will be responsible for aligning the UK and Ireland’s go-to-market sales, channel strategy and resources with its partners to grow the business and revenues.

Based in the UK, Smith will report to Joseph Ghattas, Vice President of Public Sector, Europe. Ghattas commented: “The UK and Ireland market is very important to our European Public Sector business. We are delighted to have Andrew on board to lead the business. He will focus on extending our growth in this vitally important sector, driving business with central and local government opportunities, and building a significant Public Sector customer base. Andrew possesses strong skills in management and channel development and brings along with him deep expertise of the sector and a great track record of performance.”

Andrew has worked in sales management for over 25 years. During that time he spent eight years at Mercury Interactive where he built up the UK public sector division and turned it into the largest federal division globally. More recently he was at Precise Software where he was responsible for driving key UK partnerships to market IT solutions across all sectors.

Andrew joins the CA Technologies Public Sector team at an important time as Public Sector CXOs are vigorously looking to innovate their existing infrastructure by exploring emerging technologies, like Cloud Computing. CA Technologies is well positioned to help public sector organisations to manage and secure both their physical and virtual IT environments and as such, Andrew will be actively engaging with the sales teams, the key partners in this area and, of course CXOs, to identify opportunities for the business.

Andrew Smith said: “IT as a whole is in its contraction phase and under the current economic conditions it will have to contract faster in the Public Sector than anywhere else. Couple this with the urgent need to do more with less and it becomes very clear how vendors should be positioning themselves. CA has a wide range of solutions that dovetail with both of these goals to ultimately drive down cost. Clear and aggressive ROI is the mantra and whether it is facilitating accelerated achievement of cloud computing or reducing calls to the service desk CA has made investments in technology that can make this happen.’’
