LONDON, July 26, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Retail group SPAR
Austria has chosen project and portfolio management software CA
Clarity PPM from CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA). Contec-X GmbH,
Platinum partner of CA Technologies, implemented a custom-tailored

Contec-X first rolled out CA Clarity PPM in the SPAR
headquarters based in Salzburg,
and then instituted it stepwise in Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech
Republic, Croatia, and
Italy. About 200 employees are now
using the modern IT solution company-wide. They are able to
collect, analyse, optimise, budget and schedule project ideas to
then effectively implement them.
SPAR Austria has evolved from a
traditional food retailer to a Central European business group with
a presence in six countries. SPAR chose CA Clarity PPM to serve as
the basis for a group-wide integrated project and portfolio
management system to execute diverse organisational and IT projects
within the group more efficiently. SPAR's customised IT solution
was developed and placed into operation by Contec-X. SPAR is now
able to standardise, accelerate, and optimise its project and
portfolio management in Austria as
well as in Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech
Republic, Croatia, and
Italy.
The PPM solution is being used instead of a patchwork of
e-mails, Word and Excel documents, and other tools. In contrast,
the new PPM solution now ensures that all processes run identically
throughout all locations and markets in accordance with established
best practice methods.
Today, about 200 SPAR employees have access to CA Clarity PPM
and can manage projects over their entire lifecycle. The objective
is to have the PPM solution significantly increase efficiency
regarding project organisation. This will enable SPAR to reliably
and properly manage the increasing number and scope of projects
associated with the retail group's expansion.
