Leading Information Processing Services Provider To Use Computer Associates' CA-Fix/2000 And UNICAST/2000 Software To Correct Applications
ISLANDIA, N.Y./LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 1998-- Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA - news) and Strategia Corp. (AMEX: SAA - news) today announced an alliance to deliver advanced Year 2000 remediation solutions to clients worldwide. As a certified CA Year 2000 services provider, Strategia will use the CA-Fix/2000 and UNICAST/2000 products at its worldwide factories to provide automated remediation of COBOL, CA-IDMS COBOL, CA-ADS and CA-Easytrieve code.
''The marriage of CA-Fix/2000 and UNICAST/2000 with Strategia's global factory solution enables our clients to quickly convert their code for Year 2000 compliance, without committing in-house systems and staffing resources,'' said Mark Stabler, CA vice president and Year 2000 business unit executive. ''This partnership represents a powerful combination of best-of-breed tools, services and methodologies to expedite accurate and consistent Year 2000 conversions.''
Strategia provides highly-specialized Year 2000 compliance services, including impact analysis, magnitude assessment, application renovation, compliance testing, embedded chip and personal computer (PC) analysis, project management and consulting services to corporate and government clients around the world. Through the agreement, Strategia will be able to extend the benefits of CA-Fix/2000 and UNICAST/2000 - key components of the award-winning CA Discovery 2000 solution - to clients who do not have the in-house resources available to perform the code conversions themselves.
''We are thrilled with our new relationship with Computer Associates,'' said Richard W. Smith, president and chief executive officer of Strategia. ''CA-Fix/2000 and UNICAST/2000 clearly provide a quality solution for remediating COBOL, CA-IDMS COBOL, CA-ADS, and CA-Easytrieve. We will use these tools extensively - at our worldwide factories around the world and at clients' own data centers when appropriate.''
According to Chris Fawbush, Strategia director of business partnerships, Strategia will also be better positioned to offer Year 2000 compliance testing services to CA licensees.
CA-Fix/2000 is a mainframe-based, application-at-a-time, COBOL remediation tool that has already remediated millions of lines of code worldwide - with CA-Fix/2000 clients reporting over 95 percent accuracy in finding and correcting application code. CA-Fix/2000 is tightly integrated with CA-Impact/2000, a powerful impact analysis tool that enables organizations to determine the impact and cost of converting COBOL, CA-Easytrieve, CA-ADS, CA-Ideal, CA-Telon and other mainframe languages. UNICAST/2000, developed in partnership with Information Analysis Inc. (Nasdaq:IAIC - news; IAI), provides automated remediation for CA-ADS and CA-Easytrieve, popular 4GLs, as well as for CA-IDMS COBOL.
Computer Associates' CA Discovery 2000 solution is a unique combination of software and services to help reduce the cost and ensure the success of Year 2000 initiatives. It incorporates automated solutions for every phase of a Year 2000 effort - from initial portfolio assessment through code conversion and testing to final production turnover.
