CA total protection promotion at the Dubai International Jazz Festival

Notes and media contacts

CA has plans to expand its $1 billion annual EMEA revenues faster than the overall market by implementing a three-pronged growth strategy. In addition to its expansion in the SMB market, the strategy calls for deeper penetration of selected emerging markets such as the Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe and increased business with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

CA's proposition to SMBs is its depth and breadth of software solutions that work together seamlessly and deliver total protection. The product portfolio includes BrightStor ARCserve Backup, eTrust Antivirus, Unicenter Desktop DNA and eTrust PestPatrol, all of the elements SMBs need to protect their IT investments.

Recently, Computer Associates announced the launch of direct operations in the Arab countries. CA's direct presence - compared with its previous engagement solely through partners - signals a clear change in the company's strategy towards Arab countries. The company has established its regional headquarters in Dubai Internet City in the UAE, and is currently finalizing the setup of offices at key locations throughout the region.

CA users in the Arab Countries include Emirates Bank International, Dubai Department of Civil Aviation, Etisalat Contact Center, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company, Al Jubail Petrochemical, Bank of Beirut and the Royal Court Affairs in Oman
