NEWS AND VIEWS FOR COMPUWARE CUSTOMERS

Welcome from Irene Dawson

Dear reader,

Taking Insight online has enabled us to communicate our news to you in different ways. One is through webcasts. This month you can listen to a respected Gartner analyst discuss building application security measures into the development cycle. We also have two customers talking ‘live’ about how Compuware have delivered value to their businesses. The first, Wisconsin-based insurance firm, West Bend Mutual Insurance, talks about its experience using Compuware’s end user measurement tools. We also hear how BT Global Services use Application Performance Management tools for its service management needs.

Of course we still bring you the written news and white papers, keeping you updated with Compuware’s latest announcements and activities. One which I am particularly excited about is the updated version of SecurityChecker, which is now fully integrated with Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2005.

Enjoy the read, and as always, we look forward to receiving your feedback. Please contact us by clicking here.

Best wishes

Irene Dawson, Senior Vice President, EMEA.

IT value: adding or subtracting

CIOs understand their missions well, but are often less sure about how to calculate the value of IT. Our white paper proposes a formula for calculating IT value in terms of management, application portfolio, employees and client satisfaction. Only by measuring and maximising each variable can the IT function become confident that it is adding, rather than removing, value.
