CA Technologies chief: 'We've got heavy and slow, it's time to get back in the gym' | ZDNet

▤ Summary

Gregoire joined CA in January, having previously been CEO of cloud-based talent management software company Taleo which was sold to Oracle in early 2012 for nearly $2bn. Right off the bat, I already see the changes happening in the company — were thinking a little bit quicker, acting with a little more velocity, and you will see that show up in the products and our go to market in a very short period of time. Applications that are no longer driving the amount of business value that they should, we need to work to get customers onto releases that the innovation is happening on, and thats a very difficult thing to do. We will never get there one hundred percent, but just the spirit of having the dialogue with the customer and showing you have a genuine interest in making sure they are getting the maximum amount of business value, I think is the kind of partner we want to be. Every customer we have is pivoting towards the cloud, so if you are a CIO, dont you want to start thinking about having one way of managing your environment instead of having multiple discrete systems?
