CA ESP Workload Automation Software: Measuring Business Impact and ROI

Overview

In May 2006, CA acquired Cybermation to enhance current product strategy and provide a foundation for the next generation of CA's job management software products referred to as "Workload automation". According to CA, Cybermation's ESP product line will play a key role in enhancing CA's workload automation offerings and bolstering commitment and technology leadership in this space. To assess and quantify the business benefits of enterprise job scheduling software, IDC conducted in-depth interviews with IT staff members of 14 organizations using CA ESP Workload Automation (formerly Cybermation ESP) products between January and March 2006, just prior to the acquisition.
