''As the world's leading independent IT management software company, CA relies on a vibrant and diverse workforce with major sites around the world,'' CA's Enterprise IT Management Group Executive Vice-President Ajei Gopal said in a statement.

With this new building, we will be able to accommodate anticipated growth in our R&D, technical support, IT infrastructure management, applications development and professional services teams.'' Opened a year ago after four years of CA R&D activity in India, the ITC now contributes to the development of all major CA products in the areas of IT management, governance and security.
