Johannesburg, 04 Dec 1998

To provide small business users with greater flexibility and freedom of choice in their approach to systems management, Computer Associates offers a family of function-specific integrated software solutions. These Workgroup Edition products consist of state-of-the-art solutions for specific management areas including security, software distribution, help desk, asset management, storage and e-commerce.

All Workgroup Edition IT products are built on the Unicenter TNG Framework, CA`s exclusive enterprise management infrastructure, says Mark Knight, channel manager at CA Africa. The interface and functionality is shared across the CA Workgroup Edition IT products allowing users to easily implement solutions and manage their environments in a cohesive, intelligent fashion.

"These specifically designed products will assist small businesses to run their operations in a more productive manner, promoting efficiency and effectiveness in the day-to-day work environment. Each product is specially designed for a particular usage," Knight says.

AimIT proactively manages assets in a networked environment, collecting and maintaining an accurate and precise inventory of hardware and software. IT is easy to use, delivers immediate benefits and, in the process, minimises the time and expense associated with time management.

ShipIT Workgroup Edition is an adaptable tool used for distributing, installing, checking and updating and uninstalling software from a central location. Since all software is installed centrally, IT saves time, eliminates the margin of error and keeps costs down to a minimum.

ControlIT is a dependable and secure application for controlling remote Windows systems via network access, dial-up or on the Internet. IT provides maximum benefits for network administrators, help desks, trainers and mobile users. All users have access to all information and can be in "contact" with one another at all times.

When it comes to Storage Management, ARCserveIT is the solution to protecting and defending all the small business`s information. ARCserveIT protects the our most critical and crucial aspect of any business - the data. ARCserveIT automates every traditional storage management task, thus reducing errors, enabling administrators to perform their tasks with maximum efficiency, and reducing operational costs. This system can be used anywhere on the network.

As computers become an increasingly integral part of life, everyone becomes ever more reliant on bandwidth. Additional network hardware and constant upgrades are cost-prohibitive. CA`s DoubleIt automatically and instantaneously provides double the bandwidth by immediately and transparently compressing data across the entire network.

ServiceIT is the help-line for a knowledge-based help desk. IT provides answers and solutions to all the problems that users may encounter. IT supports Windows NT and other Web-based environments and saves the time normally wasted waiting for assistance, thereby increasing productivity and keeping operating costs at a minimum.

The one word all computer users fear is VIRUS. With InnoculateIT users negate the possibility of a virus attacking the system. InnoculateIT is the premier antivirus antidote for our network.

FAXserve is a multifaceted and advanced network fax solution. It enables users to send and receive faxes directly from their PCs. Faxes can then be stored in electronic files and with share fax hardware all network users will have access. It eliminates the use of paper, thereby cutting costs and making the work environment infinitely more efficient, while increasing productivity levels.

CA`s Workgroup Edition IT products are leading the way in enabling small business users to work more effectively by providing tools that will make these small businesses operate smoothly. The IT products are only available through the two-tier channel and can be used either on a single PC or an advanced, multi-tiered network.
