“Driving Growth and Innovation are two crucial issues that are at the top of our attention in the midst of globalization and progressive market liberalization. Growth is no longer an option in our competitive world today, it is the lifeline of business. In the REAL world, growing enterprises will thrive and the shrinking ones disappear,” said Queenie Wong, Managing Director of CA Malaysia at the CA EXPO 2007 Welcome Address today. “However, the REAL challenge is to create a sustainable business growth for long-term survival.”

Wong pointed out that businesses today are operating in the challenging world of multiple platforms, rapid changes, and constant demand for profitability. They face issues and roadblocks daily in striving to meet their objectives. Therefore, real solutions are needed to meet these challenges and business goals. “We believe that real innovation is happening in the management of complex IT environments where businesses and CA work together. We see real innovation when businesses address the challenges head on in governing, managing and securing IT environments,” she emphasized.
