    --  CA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CA) today announced the next evolution of
        its Information Governance Suite, including a Discovery and
        Retention Manager module. The module helps organizations to
        proactively retain and dispose of the right information to
        reduce volume, optimize discovery for greatest efficiency and
        relevance, and limit outside legal review costs by producing
        only highly relevant information.

    --  CA's Information Governance Suite provides a unified interface
        for discovery and retention management through the new
        Discovery and Retention Manager module. Common to both CA

        enables federation to other content repositories directly from
        CA Message Manager, providing discovery and retention
        management of content across the enterprise.

        SharePoint(R) as well as several other popular content
        management systems. The U.S. DoD 5015.2 v3 standard is used
        worldwide as the de-facto standard for comprehensive records
        management by both private and public organizations.

    --  The CA Information Governance Suite is designed to help
        customers to proactively and consistently manage vital digital
        and physical records across repositories, with policy-driven
        controls that help mitigate risk and facilitate litigation
        preparedness.

    --  CA's Information Governance Suite includes the following new
        features:

        --  Unified discovery and retention management for CA Message
            Manager- and CA Records Manager-managed content.

        --  Discovery against and retention management for content
            beyond CA systems, including content in Windows(R)-based
            file systems and other repositories.

        --  Ability to create policies that create repeatable
            processes, provide for more consistent preservation and
            facilitate ease of export across the organization.

        --  Proactive and automated management of file share content
            based on rules.

    --  The CA Information Governance suite, including CA Records
        Manager r12.5, CA Message Manager r12.5 and the new Discovery
        and Retention Manager module is currently in beta and will be
        available Winter 2008.
