Compuware's More program offers QuickArrow customers a low-risk opportunity to start taking advantage of Changepoint.
The attractive competitive upgrade package includes:
- a discount on the initial Changepoint license purchase;

- a fixed-fee implementation and data conversion services;
- three months of transition support; and,

"Professional services organizations are witnessing booming growth--particularly within the technology sector," said Lori Ellsworth, Vice President, Compuware Changepoint.
