CA Technologies’ $350 million(£220 million) acquisition of Nimsoft last year has opened it to a set of completely different customers that want to consume IT management through cloud computing, Nimsoft’s chief executive has said.
Chris O’Malley told Computerworld UK at this week’s CA World event in Las Vegas: “While you tend to think of CA as selling to the top 1,000 IT shops, we are bringing the company into the large midmarket – companies bringing in $2 billion a year or less.”
While Nimsoft represented a “relatively small part” of CA revenue, he said, it was expanding and it introduced fast-growing companies that later became major customers to the parent company – such as movie streaming firm Netflix, he said.
