Documents filed by the SEC and Justice Department show that the timing infractions at Computer Associations required the participation not just of a few top executives but of many people, including lower level people in sales.
The government also alleges top executives clearly knew what they were doing was wrong and went to great lengths to cover up. Obstruction of justice is among the charges against Kumar and Richards. How does a clearly improper practice become so firmly rooted? In many cases, says Thomas W.

That way, problems are addressed internally — well before they become big enough to drag the entire company over the cliff. National Center for Educational Statistics enrollment data indicates an increase in distance education in recent years. Research suggests that the quality of online learning is on par with on-campus education, leading many schools and employers to treat online degrees as equal to on-campus degrees.
Many students choose online learning because of its affordability, flexible scheduling, and convenience. However, online learners must possess sufficient self-discipline and motivation to complete their work without the engagement and accountability of in-person learning. Institutional accreditation status matters considerably when it comes to federal financial aid access, degree and credit transferability, and job prospects, so prospective students should ensure their potential schools boast accreditation from agencies approved by the Council of Higher Education Accreditation.
Regional accreditors impose more rigorous academic standards than national accreditors, so schools holding regional accreditation typically offer higher-quality education. For this reason, regionally accredited schools typically only accept transfer degrees and credits from other regionally accredited institutions.

This type of networking was increasingly important in the computer industry, with networks of smaller computers displacing mainframes.
In combination with the Computing Architecture s plan, Wang spent refocusing his 7, employees on product development and customer service. Programmers worked overtime to update older programs and boost customer confidence. Supercalc 5, released in , included graphics and database management, making it competitive with Lotus and Microsoft Excel. CA-Textor, released in , was an entry-level word processor designed to work with Microsoft's Windows graphic interface.
Despite numerous programs for personal computers, Computer Associates suffered from anonymity in the personal computer market, with Supercalc attaining only about a 5 percent share of the spreadsheet market. Computer Associates pushed aggressively into foreign markets, notably Canada and Japan, and overseas sales accounted for 40 to 45 percent of annual revenues. CA became more flexible in pricing its annual maintenance fees for updating and troubleshooting software. These fees comprised 33 percent of revenues, up from 20 percent four years earlier.
Despite this increased flexibility, the firm's pricing policies were controversial, angering some because of the tough stand taken on prices when a client changed the way it used CA software.
Continuing its push to work with different computer platforms, CA agreed in to make many of its products work with Hewlett-Packard's Unix-based computers and reached a licensing agreement with Apple Computer to allow its databases to be accessed through Apple's Macintosh computers. It also bought a number of software vendors including Access Technology, whose software worked on Vax systems made by Digital Equipment.
EDS accused Computer Associates of unfair business practices including monopoly and licensing fraud, breach of contract, and misuse of copyright. The dispute was not settled until Bitter feelings toward CA were evidently common among its customers, yet the company had a vast array of extremely useful products, and so the company was hard to avoid.
This was at the time the biggest takeover deal ever in the software industry. Legent's strength was in so-called client-server computer software, where instead of a large, powerful mainframe, a network of computers interacted through software stored in a central server computer.
CA had made a move toward client-server computing two years earlier, bringing out a new product called CA-Unicenter. It also acquired Cheyenne Software Inc. By the mids, about one-third of CA's sales were in client-server software products. By the late s, the company was still growing, yet it faced new problems. One was that it was more difficult for CA to keep acquiring smaller companies.
The Justice Department had put conditions on the company's further takeovers after the huge Legent deal. In addition, CA's stock price tended to yo-yo, fueled in part by Wall Street analysts' concerns that the company bought up firms with mature products and then squeezed money out of them, rather than looking for emerging products from young competitors. Moreover, though CA made a major effort beginning in the mids to turn around its reputation for poor customer service, a survey in showed only 10 percent of large customers were satisfied with CA.
CA had a 25 percent share of the mainframe computer software market by the late s, only one point behind market leader IBM, yet the mainframe market was expanding only very slowly. The company relaunched its premier client-server software in , Unicenter TNG, hoping for more of the booming network market.
Despite growing revenue, CA continued to hit bumps in the late s and into the new millennium.
