DETROIT, June 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR) today continued to strengthen its position as the global leader in end-to-end application performance by announcing enhancements to the worldwide Compuware partner program. Included in this announcement are new programs, solution service offerings and go-to-market resources that enable partners to effectively address the significant application performance and IT management challenges confronting organizations worldwide.
"Partners are a key component of the Compuware Business Service Delivery strategy and our focus on providing comprehensive application performance solutions for our customers," said Kimberly King, Vice President of Channels and Alliances, Compuware Corporation. "The objective of our partner program is two-fold: to help our partners grow their businesses and to effectively address our customers' business and IT challenges."
A number of partners are supporting Compuware Vantage 11--Compuware's breakthrough application performance management solution--also announced today. Vantage 11 helps drive down costs significantly by fixing problems faster and reducing the risk of poor service quality. It is the only service management solution to take a unified approach by combining business service management, end user experience monitoring and application performance management. Compuware partners will be adding value to Vantage with application specific domain expertise and consulting services.
The Compuware partner program focuses on partners who complement Compuware's Business Service Delivery approach. The program has tailored offerings for solution partners, technology partners, value-added resellers and OEMs. Within this framework, there are multiple tiers depending on the level of activity a partner commits to. Partners can take advantage of online training, class room training and a unique mentoring program to accelerate their expertise with Compuware solutions.
"Business applications have evolved to become ever more interconnected, distributed and resource intensive, which has significantly impacted application performance," said Julie Craig, Research Director, Enterprise Management Associates. "Solving the challenge of aligning IT services to business objectives and using technology metrics to measure success is the realm of Compuware Vantage 11. EMA believes that this new release of the popular Compuware Vantage will be of strong interest to the partner channel."
The newly-added programs, services and go-to-market resources extend the Compuware partner program's already strong ability to enable value-added resellers, system integrators, service partners and technology partners to deliver tailored solutions to resolve customer business problems. The partner program includes resources and services--such as product training, special incentives, lead sharing and co-marketing activities--that enable partners to grow their business and meet the needs of their customers.
