Subject: Introducing Incremental Release Program for CA IPC
On behalf of CA Technologies, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce the formulation of an Incremental Release program for CA IPC 15.1/INC00.
The CA Incremental Release Program is a customer-interactive delivery model where new product features are developed and released using the Agile development methodology. CA’s development teams work closely with customers to create product features for rapid implementation. Rather than waiting for a list of features to be completed before making a new product release available, we are working with customers to release new features incrementally, as we complete them. CA will support incremental releases in accordance with CA’s Incremental Release Program – Support Policy and Terms.
If you are interested in participating in the Incremental Release program for CA IPC 15.1/INC00, please review CA’s Incremental Release Program – Support Policy and Terms and contact the CA IPC Product Owner (Susan Brude, Susan.Brude@ca.com, +1 214 473 1604) to discuss the customer requirements recommended for participation. While participation in the Agile development process is not mandatory, CA recommends that customers implementing a release during the Incremental Process participate to ensurethat they are kept up to date with all communications going on with the release.
At the conclusion of the Incremental Release program, all of the new features and maintenance introduced during the program will be rolled into a ‘complete’ release which is then supported under CA’s standard support policy.
You can download your copy of CA IPC 15.1/INC00 from CA Support Online or with CAChorus™ Software Manager (CA CSM). The Incremental Release will be recognizable by the genlevel field (INCxx). A click-on End User License Agreement will pop up for your acceptance before the product can be downloaded. Since 15.1 is the first Incremental Release for the CA IPC product, please read the EULA carefully. How we support the products in an Incremental Release differs from prior releases.
Thank you for your business, we look forward to working with you.
