Software maker CA Inc. (CA) said fiscal third-quarter net income tripled, aided by cost-cutting and a lower restructuring charge compared with a year earlier. The maker of business and data-management software formerly called Computer Associates also raised its full-year 2008 forecast.

Excluding items, the company reported earnings of 36 cents a share from continuing operations, compared with 24 cents a year earlier. Revenue rose 9.8% to $1.1 billion from $1 billion.
