In a new report titled "IT Governance - Managing Portfolios, Projects, Processes and People," Butler Group, Europe's leading IT research and advisory organization, makes the case that IT governance is a mandatory initiative for both private and public sectors, and discusses the importance of PPM in enabling this vision.

"Without effective IT governance, the business value of IT is substantially impaired," said Tim Jennings, research director, Butler Group.

"PPM solutions, such as CA Clarity 8, help ensure that IT services meet the requirements of a company's overall business goals by justifying investment decisions, providing project visibility, assessing and mitigating risk and measuring the return on investment. CA Clarity is positioned to support advanced IT governance concepts as customers seek to streamline and obtain maximum benefit from their IT efforts."

A key part of the IT Governance report is the Butler Group Project Portfolio Management Market Lifecycle Ratings where the analyst firm considers nine possible vendors and divides them into three groups, Shortlist, Consider, and Explore, depending on the maturity of the PPM offering. For companies evaluating solutions this year, CA Clarity is one of only two products to make Butler Group's Shortlist.

Hussam Qasem, Regional Team Leader for CA Governance Solutions said,
"Many companies are moving into Project and Portfolio Management which is a more sophisticated approach to an old process. It allows them to not only ensure strategic business alignment and cost control but also to manage high demand with limited resources. CA Clarity provides IT organizations the ability to achieve world class performance by improving the quality of their engagement with the business and help them run at peak efficiency."
