Productive Quote:
"The choice of Artzt, who, along with Charles Wang, helped co-found CA in 1976 and wrote much of the early code in the company's products, was a good one, says Todd O'Bert of Productive a Minneapolis based solution provider and CA partner. Russ has been one of the original members of the CA team, and he is held in high esteem from partners and people within the organization, so it's a good sign that even though CA is evolving, it will rely on some of the people that helped make CA what it is today," O'Bert said."
