MORGES, Switzerland, June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Tata Steel has chosen CA Technologies to help accelerate the innovation of new steel solutions to drive top-line growth. The company, which supplies steel and related services to many demanding markets worldwide, will use the CA Clarity™ Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) to manage the entire new product and service lifecycle from innovation and product design through production and delivery.

"The PPM Solution will help us to more efficiently innovate to speed our products to market, build market share and better align with customer needs," said Rene Kieft, manager, product development portfolio and IP strategy, strategic marketing, Tata Steel.

Every possible innovation will come under the microscope, ranging from ways to expand and improve the quality of the company's steel products to facilitating new products to be tested on an industrial scale, such as can making, automotive solutions, parts for lifting and for various construction applications.
