CA and EDS extend global software license agreement to include Legent Software; Synergies created by CA's recent acquisition of Legent Corporation; Create new opportunities for EDS clients.

Computer Associates today extended their global software licensing agreement --believed to be one of the largest in history-- to include software products from CA's recent acquisition of Legent Corporation.

The extension provides EDS with very broad and flexible use of former Legent products for both itself and its existing and future customers throughout the world. It builds upon the unprecedented 12-year agreement announced by the two companies in May 1994.

"We are delighted that EDS is leveraging CA solutions to better support its clients and its own internal information processing requirements," said Gayle Kemper, CA vice president for the EDS global relationship. "We have an excellent partnership with EDS, and are continuing to look for additional opportunities to extend it."

"EDS recognizes the product synergy between the CA and Legent technologies," said Dana Groover, EDS director, corporate partnerships. "This agreement continues to expand the number of CA software solutions EDS can offer its customers."

The former Legent products, which are being extended with CA technology, fall into three broad categories:

- Distributed systems management, including multiplatform agent-based management tools, client/server help desk and problem management, distributed storage management, cross-platform connectivity technology, performance and capacity planning and operations management.

- Distributed data management, including multiplatform software distribution, data transfer and warehousing enabling technology.

- Application management, including multiplatform version control, change management and application configuration.
