CA Technologies has joined the Mack Institute for Innovation Management at the Wharton School as a corporate partner.
CA will partner with the Mack Institute on conferences, workshops and research to examine the new challenges and opportunities being opened by the innovative use of technology and software to transform business.
“All businesses, no matter the product or service, are now – at their core – IT organizations,” said Sid Kumar, VP, Customer Lifecycle Solutions, CA Technologies. “We’re committed to working with Wharton and the Mack Institute to bring really smart ideas and know-how to our customers to help them tackle the new software and app-driven environments in which they operate.”
“Software is disrupting many industries and fundamentally redefining business models. CA Technologies has been one of the leaders in the enterprise software space for nearly 40 years, and its solutions are at the center of the world’s largest and most complex enterprises. With this rich industry heritage and focus on continued innovation, CA Technologies brings a very valuable perspective to the Mack Institute,” said Mack Institute Co-director Nicolaj Siggelkow.
The Mack Institute brings together thought leaders from across academic disciplines and industries to explore how companies survive, compete and thrive through innovation management. The institute’s research agenda is driven by its select circle of partners from a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, pharmaceuticals, and data solutions and IT.
The partnership will also leverage synergies between two state-of-the-art Silicon Valley innovation and business centers – the CA Silicon Valley Technology Center and Wharton San Francisco. The Mack Institute will host its Spring Conference 2014 at Wharton San Francisco, where CA Technologies leaders will meet with Mack Institute industry partners and Wharton academic leaders to discuss strategies for established firms to foster creativity and successfully incubate innovation.
