Welcome to the December issue of Compuware Insight, the monthly newsletter for Compuware customers.
This month we bring you News of a survey that reveals the increasingly strategic role played by business analysts in the modern enterprise, and unveil a partnership between Compuware Covisint and identity management software vendor Initiate Systems Inc. that will help the healthcare industry share critical information in a secure environment.
In this issue’s Development section, you can get all the buzz from our recent CU2006 conference in Strasbourg (can you spot yourself in the video?). We’ve also got news of a greatly enhanced new version of Uniface JTi that should be of interest to those of you developing Web-based applications. You can also download a white paper on incorporating business rules into your applications with OptimalJ.
In the Quality section, learn how leading Irish bank Permanent TSB unravelled a perplexing problem with its web server traffic using Compuware’s Application Performance Assurance solutions. You can also register your interest in the beta programme for TrackRecord 6.3.0, our new software testing management tool, and read a fascinating article about the benefits of integrated testing and development.
Voice-over-IP is becoming increasingly popular with enterprises looking to reduce communications costs, and this is the focus of this month’s Performance section. We look at why three-quarters of Europe’s IT directors are worried about the quality and reliability of VoIP applications, and give you a comprehensive VoIP Resource Kit to help you iron out any performance issues with VoIP in your own organisation.
The Enterprise section features a very useful technical white paper on troubleshooting problems with IBM’s MQ messaging technology, and introduces a new service from Compuware’s Professional Services division: Application Modernisation for your legacy mainframe systems.
As always, I hope that you enjoy this issue of Insight and find it useful. We would love to receive your feedback, comments and questions, so please don’t hesitate to email us here.
May I also take this opportunity of wishing you and your family a very happy and relaxing holiday season.

Best wishes

The role of business analyst is becoming more critical to corporate success, with BAs being brought on to IT projects earlier to ensure a closer and more productive alignment between the business and IT. But a new Compuware survey reveals that while BAs are playing an increasingly strategic role, they are not necessarily receiving the training and tools they need to do their job properly. Download the full survey to find out how tools like Compuware OptimalTrace can help business analysts to be even more effective.
