message: Is the acquisition list appropriate?  For comparison I checked Cisco Systems (another company with many acquisitions) and there is no similar list there.
If the list it kept, I also believe it should be in chronological order rather than most recent one first.

thread_title:  Acquisition List

message: I'm pulling the following bits out of the rewrite for now because I haven't been able to make sense of what is being said, and I am unable to verify what I can work out is being said.
* The company reached an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to pay $225 million in compensation to shareholders.
* SEC, FBI, and Deputy Attorney General James Comey (head of the Bush Administration's Corporate Fraud Task Force)
* It was the world's third-largest independent software company with approximately 16,000 employees, and a 1999 IndustryWeek 1000 company.

thread_title: Cruft

message: CA's acquisition of Concord gives it new products and technologies, namely eHealth and SPECTRUM.  I'm still not sure if they plan on folding some of the tech from SPECTRUM / eHealth into the existing Unicenter product line, or if the will continue to exist as a separate product.  CA does still appear to be selling SPECTRUM as a standalone product at this point in time. Tel Janin 03:18, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Acquisition / Product Offering Consolidation

message: Surprisingly, there is no mention of CA's involvement in small business computing, with a series of products called "Accpac", and a competitor to Lotus called "Supercalc". 
These products were marketed as an integrated business unit in the 1980s on a DOS platform for micro-computers, i.e. the original IBM PC and its growth family. A major innovation was an integrated product called "Windowing System Manager" and the ability to import from its Spreadsheet (which had advanced Macro capabilities well ahead of Lotus) -- at the time. In South Africa, their marketing unit was sold to a company called "LA Technology" [See: Jeremy Waterman] who continued the line to the point that almost all accounting on small computers in RSA was handled by Accpac (for DOS) - most job adverts commonly called for Accpac knowledge, to the point of a major market share above other products (in South Africa and many other English speaking countries, except the UK - where Sage held sway). Additionally, CA Accpac, and LA Technologies, encouraged additional add on modules of software written independently to integrate.  
Development continued meanwhile of Microsoft Windows, and CA were slow to re-develop their product for Windows, missing out initially on core modules such as AR, AC, by just releasing only a GL (General or Nominal ledger). Obsolescense followed; Sage eventually took over the product.Terry nyorks (talk) 08:07, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Small Business software 

message: Thank you for reviewing this article. I have edited and removed all material that could have been regarded as advertising or non-neutral. Article now has a style similar to other software manufactures that are not flagged as non-neutral (e.g. BMC Software). Many thanks for your help.

replies: text: It is pretty neutral by now, but it is too much oriented towards corporate structure and economical info. I'm more interested in how it earns money: products and services. Said: Rursus (☻) 14:32, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that a speedy delete was thrown on this recently.  CA is one of Long Island's biggest employers and with nearly 14,000 employees it's kinda a big ass company.  There's a giant complex of support buildings including several hotels built around its hq.  It needs to be toned down on the advert wording but the company itself is VERY notable.

message: So now that CA, Inc has officially been renamed "CA Technologies", how do we change the name of this article from "CA, Inc." to CA Technologies"? I saw nowhere on the page edit form to do so. Brian (talk) 19:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I modified the InfoBox, which had been CA, Inc. changed to defunct in 2018. However, the page is now about CA Technologies, a subsidiary of Broadcom, Inc. So, I deleted the defunct & the ticker symbol and changed the name to be CA Technologies. Perhaps this page should stay about CA, Inc.? but, most changes reflect the subsidiary, so, I made the changes. Bodysurfinyon (talk) 21:29, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
