NEWS AND VIEWS FOR COMPUWARE CUSTOMERS

Welcome from Irene Dawson

Dear reader,

This month we have a special announcement for those of you who are interested in the Eclipse open source development platform – or rather two announcements rolled into one. As well as providing full Eclipse support in OptimalJ 4.1, we’re leading project Corona, an industry initiative designed to improve integration of Eclipse tools within a multi-vendor environment.

A theme of quality runs through this issue. There’s a webcast discussing the role of collaboration (as enabled by tools like CARS) in maximising quality, plus a Gartner paper suggesting ways to measure the value of collaboration. We invite you to take part in an online assessment of your organisation against Compuware’s Quality Maturity Model™.

Please don’t forget to let us have your feedback, by clicking here – we look forward to hearing from you..

Best wishes

Irene Dawson, Senior Vice President, EMEA.
