CA (NYSE: CA) today announced Business Desktop Deployment Plus (BDD+), a comprehensive management solution that helps reduce the time and cost of deploying and managing the Windows Vista operating system. Leveraging CA’s industry-leading Desktop and Server Management software and best practices, CA BDD+ addresses every step of the deployment process—from planning and implementation, to process management and reporting. By optimizing and automating all phases of Windows Vista implementation, CA BDD+ increases technician productivity, ensures continued desktop security, mitigates error-prone manual processes, decreases help desk intervention, and reduces the time and overall costs of deployment.

“By streamlining the operating system migration process, CA BDD+ will help customers reap the business benefits of Microsoft Vista more quickly and with less work,” said Dave Wascha, director of Windows Client at Microsoft. “These capabilities will be particularly attractive to companies with large and/or complex IT environments.” As enterprises become even more dependent on technology, it is essential that IT organizations effectively manage updates and upgrades. To minimize costs, downtime and disruption to business operations, they therefore need an automated, tested and proven solution that allows them to make changes in their infrastructure easily and securely.

CA BDD+ fulfills this requirement by delivering a comprehensive solution for cost effectively planning, managing and supporting deployment of Windows Vista. It supports all aspects of such deployments—including project planning and infrastructure assessment, tracking of hardware inventory, assessment of application compatibility, software delivery, migration of user preferences and settings, automation of help desk tasks, and decision support analytics.
