ISLANDIA, N.Y., February 28, 2007 – CA, Inc. (NYSE: CA) today announced it has expanded its portfolio of software products available to PC service technicians enrolled in its OnSite PC Protection Program.

CA launched its OnSite PC Protection Program in August 2006 to address the growing PC service provider channel, which provides computer repair and support for residential and business customers (i.e. “geeks” or “nerds”). The program is based on an e-commerce platform that provides PC service technicians with easy online access to diagnostic tools and software to enable faster PC repairs and software installation for their customers. To date, the CA OnSite program has enrolled more than 300 PC service provider businesses with more than 1,000 individual PC technicians across the United States.

“Our OnSite partners can now increase the value of their home and small office visits with products ranging from security and word processing, to photo editing and tax preparation,” said George Kafkarkou, senior vice president of worldwide commercial sales and strategy for CA. “By opening up our platform to include other software partners, we continue to stand behind our commitment to onsite service providers, which have become an important part of our growing channel community.”

Digital Photo and Video Editing and Sharing
