Exhibit 99.2

CA Technologies welcomes Rally Software

CA Technologies has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rally Software, a leading global provider of agile development software and services.

Heidi Lemmetyinen • May 28, 2015

The acquisition will strengthen CA’s strategy to help customers better navigate changing markets, improve performance and deliver value faster in a world driven by software.

Why Agile?

As software disrupts traditional business models, businesses are facing increased pressure to undergo a digital transformation. Delivering new applications efficiently and quickly is becoming a key competitive differentiator in all industries, but outdated development practices are hindering the speed of innovation.

An agile approach, which aligns software development and strategic business objectives, helps companies to deliver software that moves at the speed of business.

According to Forrester, Agile is now an accepted and growing development methodology: sixty-nine percent of respondents in a recent survey of business decision-makers have interest, plan to implement, or have already implemented Agile for their custom development; and sixty-three percent


of respondents of the same survey answered similarly for packaged software development and maintenance.

Market intelligence firm IDC expects strong growth for Agile ALM software: the market is forecasted to skyrocket from $211.9 million in 2012 to $1.1 billion by 2017 with a forecasted compound annual growth rate of 39%.

Helping businesses innovate faster

Rally’s expertise as the #1 leader in enterprise agile-at-scale, combined with CA’s leadership in the Application Economy will help businesses accelerate their pace of disruption.

Together, CA and Rally will be positioned at the forefront of the digital transformation taking place across enterprises globally.
