The chief technology officer of Computer Associates, Nancy Li, will become the CEO of iCan-ASP. <P> Li's position as CEO of the new spin-off demonstrates the core dependence on technology within the ASP marketplace. In a statement released by Computer Associates, the company noted that the ASP market was "already large and growing rapidly." In order to distinguish themselves, iCAN-ASP plans to focus on bringing new technology to the market via wireless and broadband communications.
