ISLANDIA, NY, and SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, May 2, 2012 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) announced today that it has reached a settlement agreement with ISI (formerly known as Independent Systems Integrators) of Sydney, Australia, resolving all outstanding claims against ISI for copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation by ISI in its 2BDB2 software.

“We are pleased to resolve this case in a way that protects our intellectual property and recognizes the substantial investment we make in research and development,” said Amy Fliegelman Olli, CA Technologies Executive Vice President and General Counsel.  “CA Technologies will take whatever steps necessary to ensure the continued protection of its intellectual property.”
