One of the big players in the Enterprise-class (meaning the software is so bloated you need a spaceship to hold the CDs?) is Computer Associates (CA) and the Unicenter product family. The product portfolio at CA, by the way, is so big they have to start coining new acronyms to describe it: they came up with Enterprise IT Management (EITM). At what point does a product portfolio large enough to cover everything become so large, overlapping and confusing as to become nothing?

CA recently announced they have appointed Ajei Gopal, Symantec Corp.’s former chief technology officer, to lead its enterprise systems management business unit.

We wish him well!
