As we continue to advance and expand our industry-leading portfolio of eBusiness solutions, we at CA recognize that in addition to maintaining the highest standards of software quality, reliability, and usability, we also have to keep our product lines simple and focused. We want to take a moment to explain the exciting transition we are undertaking. We have introduced several brand families. Those new names will be incorporated into all CA product names going forward.

Our branding strategy is intended to keep our solutions of high quality and focused on meeting your business challenges. CA will continue to provide comprehensive solutions in both Enterprise Management and Information Management and our products will be grouped as follows:

Enterprise Management:

• Unicenter®, recognized as the industry standard, will remain the world’s premier family of infrastructure management solutions
• BrightStor™ is CA’s brand of comprehensive, high-value storage management solutions
• eTrust™ continues as the brand name for the award-winning, bulletproof security that makes CA the leading supplier of security software solutions safeguarding business-critical resources across the enterprise

As a result, you will see a whole new set of expanded names that more specifically define each product.

Many in this audience are intimately comfortable with the names for the entire TestIT family. But as the role, functionality, and prospective user audience for the Testing and Fault Management tools grows in today’s burgeoning eBusiness climate, it is important to make certain that the products are clearly named so as to remove all questions as to the exact useful purpose for each product.

As further public recognition grows of our new brand name - Advantage™ - we will benefit from this increased public exposure. And this, we know, is important to all of our thousands of active user sites.

We are committed to offering you high-quality, comprehensive business solutions and are just as committed to ensuring that we keep this process as smooth as possible. As always, if you have any questions or would like to discuss how CA is continuing to evolve its products and services to meet your needs, please contact your Client Relationship Manager, call us at 1-800-225-5224, or visit us at ca.com.

The following list provides both the former familiar name and the new product names. You will see how clear the new names are and should have no difficulty in bridging from the former names to the new.

Although all of CA’s marketing materials will reflect these new brand names, technical documentation will continue to reflect the familiar names until the next major release and the new documentation that accompanies it.
