CA's Andrew Dutton to attend GITEX 2005 as regional operation celebrates one year

His visit reinforces CA's commitment to the Arab region since it started its direct operations in September 2004.

"CA is looking at emerging markets such as the Middle East as key for its long-term growth strategy," said Dutton. "We have made significant regional investments in the last 12 months to ensure that our customers and partners have access to the best solutions, support, and services with expert resources based where it matters - locally. We're delighted to be showcasing these offerings and sharing our success to date with visitors to this year's GITEX."

Dutton will be meeting with senior business and government decision makers on the CA stand (stand G9-1 in Sheikh Rashid Hall) to give a global perspective on CA's leadership in the enterprise IT management space, which enables organisations to automate, simplify, and secure their IT environments to drive better business value. He would also very much like to listen to their local experiences with the company over the past year.

"CA's regional operation helps customers benefit from over 28 years of worldwide software management expertise which today helps 98 percent of the global 1,000 companies," said Gilbert Lacroix, vice president and general manager of CA in the Arab Countries and Pakistan. "Andrew's visit during GITEX 2005 will enable many customers and partners to realize first-hand how CA technology is enabling thousands of customers to manage costs, manage risks and ensure that their IT infrastructure is aligned with their business strategy."

Andrew M. Dutton is senior vice president and general manager for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and has more than 26 years of industry experience and is widely recognized for delivering results and building businesses. Based in CA's European headquarters at Ditton Park, Datchet, United Kingdom, he is responsible for all of CA's operations in the EMEA region, including sales, marketing, services and support functions.
