Do You Know About the Client Relations
Organization (CRO)?
=============================================

We realize that finding what you need quickly
and easily can sometimes be difficult when
you are dealing with a company who provides
such a wide variety of products. To help you
better navigate CA and get the most out of
your partnership with us, we have introduced
the role of Relationship Manager (RM) to your
CA Account Team.

The RM position was created in response to
feedback from our clients who asked us for
more continuity, less focus on sales, a better
understanding of their business, and making
it easier to do business with CA.

Along with representatives from CA’s Sales,
Pre-Sales, and Post-Sales organizations, RMs
have been added to the team of CA resources.
These service professionals ensure we have an
understanding of your business and IT needs,
ensuring that we are delivering solutions to
help you meet your challenges. It is our goal
to work as an integrated CA team to ensure
your total satisfaction with CA as a partner.

- Call your local CA office to speak with your
  Relationship Manager. A listing of local
  offices can be found at: http://www.ca.com/camap.htm.
- If you are unsure of where to call, dial
  +1-631-342-5224.
