Doug Greer (CA PPM Solutions Architect) over at Rego Consulting along with Camille Pack (Rego's Expert Content Creator) recently got together to discuss CA PPM 14.2 performance and outlook.

IT-ROI Solutions is now globally SOC-certified for the excellence of our internal and external IT services & systems.

Our IM and SA teams had some discussions around this, and I want to share the good word.
