"Cognizant is one of the main partners in the global scenario of CA Technologies, a Global System Integrator, a category that brings together the main service providers in the world. With the extension of this agreement to the Brazilian market, we will offer more innovative solutions that increase efficiency and quality that are typically not available to companies, considering the journey to digital transformation. Our customers are looking for high levels of productivity and efficiency, without losing quality, performance and robustness", explains Murilo Costa, Director of Strategic Alliances at CA Technologies .
For Cognizant, having a partner like CA Technologies is a differentiator in its market performance. From the agreement, it will be possible to expand the range of products offered and optimize the performance of the contractors. "CA Technologies is a renowned company in the sector and this partnership allows an offer of increasingly efficient and personalized solutions to customers", says João Lucio de Azevedo Filho, country manager at Cognizant.
The first offering to be leveraged by CA's products is Quality Engineering & Assurance, Cognizant's business area created to revolutionize quality assurance in the development and operation of applications, end-to-end, through tools and services based on in DevOps. CA Service Virtualization, as well as testing and automation solutions (CA Test Data Management), were incorporated in the first contract signed with a large Brazilian client by the companies, already bringing tangible benefits in the 1st month of the project.
The 4 pillars of the Modern Software Factory:
• Agility - To quickly assimilate value with minimal overhead, it is necessary to change how software is built. Highly adaptable and customer-centric methodologies are required. Waterfall's extended-release cycles and rigid, heavy-handed approaches don't provide the speed needed to thrive. CA Agile Central is the leading tool to support agile development models.
• Automation - Speed matters. And to deliver innovation at speed, the new plant must be highly automated to reduce errors in manual processes and allow technology to free up critical resources to focus on what really counts: creating customer value.
• Safety - Operating not just in the background, but as a fundamental pillar of the entire innovation path, security embraces the end-to-end process and enhances trust and user experience.
• Insights – The Modern Factory needs to know exactly how the software is operating, at the same time it needs to know how customers are experiencing the process. This two-way digital connection allows you to discover unmet needs that can be turned into new business opportunities.
With 41 years of global operations, 37 of them in Brazil, CA Technologies employs 11,000 employees in 40 countries. Latin America is one of the strategic regions of the company, which has operations, in addition to Brazil, in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Peru. Exclusively focused on software, CA serves most of the corporations listed in the Global Fortune 500 and ten of the largest banks in Brazil, providing the tools and technology to deliver high quality applications and services to their customers. The company's fiscal 2017 revenue was US$ 4,036 billion and is forecast to increase by 4% in fiscal 2018.
