IT management software and offerings company CA Technologies has introduced the new version of CA Clarity Project and Portfolio Management (PPM).
The latest release of CA Clarity Project and Portfolio Management redefines the user experience and improves customers’ ability to innovate by managing the innovation lifecycle, beginning from the idea phase to execution, and to transform the business by providing a value roadmap to make informed decisions and better align IT initiatives with business strategy.
In addition, the new release also improves customer’s ability to sustain the optimum portfolio of IT and corporate initiatives and investments to deliver greater business value.
With the new release of CA Clarity PPM, customer can reduce costs through improved productivity and a simplified user experience; can achieve faster time-to-value from their software investment; and can collaboratively innovate across disparate functions within the enterprise.
Improved productivity is achieved through a new consistent, intuitive user interface (UI) that simplifies the user experience to enhance productivity and reduces costs.
The new UI provides smarter, refined navigation across the offering with streamlined menus, search-as-you-type data validation, and in-line editing and provides improved interactive charts, dashboards and Gantt views that make real-time PPM information accessible and relevant to anyone at any level across the organisation.
By leveraging Chatter from Salesforce.com, CA Clarity PPM incorporates enterprise social collaboration, thus refining requirements planning and agile project delivery.
CA Clarity PPM New York City User Group vice president Tammi Reel said the release of CA Clarity PPM has many new functions and features that extend its utility and benefit beyond the IT department.
"The simplicity, added features and a new user interface should enhance productivity for all users – from senior management to project managers. CA Clarity PPM users should see version 13 as a breath of fresh air. It is truly an extreme makeover to the CA Clarity PPM application," said Reel.
