LAS VEGAS, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CA WORLD -- CA
Technologies (Nasdaq: CA), the School of Business Administration at
Oakland University, Eller College of
Management at the University of
Arizona, and Kelley School of Business at Indiana University today announced the winners of
the second International Case Competition on the Strategic Value of
IT Management. The winners were chosen and announced at CA
Technologies' user conference, CA World 2010, in Las Vegas.
The International Case Competition on the Strategic Value of IT
Management brought together students from business and information
technology disciplines to demonstrate and evaluate the strategic
value of IT management for an organization. Twelve teams
participated from different regions around the world. The teams
included three graduate students with at least one student pursuing
a degree in information technology (IT) or information systems
(IS). The winners of the competition were:
- First Place: Stephan Brostrom, Theis Malmborg and Christian Ohrgaard from
Copenhagen Business School were awarded first place and
$10,000.
- Second Place: Ankit
Jagwani, Bethany Lipton and
Bedanta Talukdar from Texas A&M
University were awarded second place and $5,000.
- Third Place: Priyanka
Chandrasekaran, Jelanna Olivera-Morgan and Dan Resnick from Indiana
University and Ian
Cruickshank, Kenneth Lee and
Jason Robertson from University of British Columbia were tied for third
place and both teams were awarded $2,500.
Prior to arriving at CA World, the students were presented with
a business challenge similar to what today's CIOs face. In
this particular case, the "CIO" of a global financial services
organization was concerned about the value proposition of moving an
in-house application to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model in a
cloud environment. The students were asked to analyze the proposal,
the security and data issues inherent with such a move, and provide
a recommendation for action. The featured case study and judging
support was provided by Citigroup, Inc.
"We were incredibly pleased with the quality of work and
dedication demonstrated by the winning students from Copenhagen
Business School and by all of the participants," said Connie Smallwood, senior director of Innovation
and University Programs at CA Technologies. "It is critical to the
technology industry that we engage students early on and give them
the experience of confronting real-world problems that are similar
to ones they may face after graduation."
"Today's students are tomorrow's business leaders," said
Antonio Di Caro, senior vice
president, AXA Technology Services North America. "The competition
presented significant lessons that will be beneficial to the
professional growth of the students and their ability to link IT
and its strategic value to business." Mr. Di Caro, along with other industry professionals
and academic leaders, participated on the judging panel for the
competition.
