DETROIT, June 7, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a newly released case study, Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR) revealed that IT solutions and services provider Innovapost has improved its project management, resource management and productivity through the implementation of Compuware Changepoint. Innovapost chose the Compuware project and portfolio management (PPM) solution for its ability to handle both professional services automation and IT portfolio management needs--facilitating the management of end-to-end business processes.
"With Changepoint, we now have a single place to turn to for important financial and project data," said Glain Webber, CIO, Innovapost. "We now have more detailed information on how and where our resources spend their time, including their revenue-generating time, allowing us to make better resourcing decisions in addition to improved awareness of project financial impacts and accountability."
Prior to adopting Changepoint, Innovapost relied on a variety of software including Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access and home-grown solutions to manage its business. Innovapost sought to migrate from this collection of disconnected point tools to a single solution. The IT solutions provider needed to better handle projects and resources, and provide a more comprehensive view into project and business unit information to improve financial management and productivity.
"Changepoint shines in its ability to consolidate and aggregate resource information into a single location, which allows customers such as Innovapost to concentrate on their core business competencies," said Lori Ellsworth, Compuware Vice President, Changepoint. "With Changepoint, Innovapost executives no longer needed to check multiple, disjointed locations for key business information. They are now better able to concentrate on analytics and improve productivity and work quality."
