CA

Founded in 1976 as Computer Associates International, Inc., the company became a major independent software vendor, known for its B2B software products. Over its history, CA Technologies specialized in IT management solutions, including infrastructure management, security, and application performance monitoring. It served a global client base across various industries. In a significant industry move, Broadcom Inc. acquired CA Technologies for $18.9 billion in a deal that closed in November 2018. Since the acquisition, CA's products and teams have been integrated into Broadcom's software portfolio, and the CA Technologies brand has been largely retired in favor of the Broadcom brand.
