Insurance House Saves $1 Million by Using CA Clarity to Manage its Portfolio of IT Projects
Business Challenge: Though Insurance House had a project management office (PMO) in place for a number of years, it was not able to efficiently measure the effectiveness of its technology expenditure.

RMC Industries runs IT Like a Business With CA Clarity
"Our goal was to drive the same degree of efficiencies into RMC's IT operations as are within the business operations. However, in devising a strategy to duplicate this success, we discovered that IT lacked the software solutions on which business functions had come to depend on. For example, our finance department has accounting systems and our manufacturing department has inventory and purchasing applications. IT, on the other hand, had nothing. We changed all of this by implementing Clarity which has automated our entire portfolio lifecycle from opportunity identification to closure. Now, we run IT like a business."
Scott Wallace ~ Project Manager

Sallie Mae Uses CA Solutions to Automate ITIL Processes and the Change Management Lifecycle
Business Challenge: With a 32-year history of operating as a federal government entity, Sallie Mae was no stranger to processes. However, the many manual process controls required a significant expenditure of resources. In addition, Sarbanes-Oxley audits and Statement of Auditing Standards audits required an automated, process-driven structure for audit and compliance. The processes in place were often more than what was called for. In fact, “overcomplying” resulted in lengthy processes that were too complicated to be performed consistently. In addition, Sallie Mae needed to improve communication between IT management silos that sometimes resulted in a disconnect between the application development group and the infrastructure and operations group.
