Investment in Product, Expertise and Opening of New Compuware Center of
Excellence for SAP Solutions Demonstrates Commitment and Partnering With SAP 

DETROIT, 2014-03-11 08:57 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), the technology performance company
delivering a new generation of application performance management (APM), today
announced that effective February 1, 2014, it has opened a new Center of
Excellence for SAP solutions in the Partner Port, located near SAP
headquarters, where more than 100 SAP partners and other companies with close
relationships with SAP have office space in Walldorf, Germany. Compuware has
also increased its investment in R&D and expertise to support the fast-growing
base of companies using SAP(r) solutions. 

Compuware APM for SAP Solutions is a non-invasive solution that comes
out-of-the-box, with zero configuration. The solution discovers processes and
user transactions performed with SAP software and captures important
performance parameters of non-SAP components in heterogeneous ERP landscapes.
All transactions are monitored 24/7, without placing additional load on the
servers or network. Additionally, this solution can be extended to monitor
cloud, big data, Citrix and mobile environments as well. 

'SAP solutions are mission-critical applications whose performance is of the
highest importance. The increased number of companies looking to ensure that
these key applications are performing optimally is exciting,' said Blair
Drenner, Vice President of Strategic Business Development for Compuware's APM
business unit. 'The new Compuware Center of Excellence and our expanding
expertise in SAP solutions are important steps to expand our existing
relationship with SAP and with leading system integrators focusing on SAP
solutions. Compuware is committed to ensuring our customers and partners are
getting the most out of their investments in SAP software.' 

Compuware APM for SAP Solutions:

  -- automatically discovers and recognizes processes and individual user
     operations within SAP software;
  -- tracks all user transactions in SAP software, 24/7;
  -- Compuware APM 12.0 (formerly referred to as Compuware Gomez Real User
     Monitoring - Data Center) has certified integration with the SAP
NetWeaver(r) 
     technology platform, and was successfully tested by the SAP Co-Innovation
     Lab;
  -- delivers deep visibility into both the regular protocol and the encrypted
     secure network communications layer used by SAP GUI transactions, down to
     the level of individual transaction steps;
  -- provides agentless monitoring of the entire SAP solution landscape,
     including end users, the internet, Citrix, WAN optimization controllers,
     SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP(r) and SAP NetWeaver Application
     Server for Java, the SQL database and the integration tiers between SAP
     applications and external applications;
  -- provides baseline service performance information and usage topology, and
     identifies impacted users to help enable smoother migrations to the SAP
     HANA(r) platform; and
  -- delivers real-time reporting and alerting on performance and availability
     issues of the remote function call (RFC) network protocol in SAP software.

management. Unlike traditional APM solutions that are heavy, difficult and
reactive, Compuware APM is light, smart and proactive. Compuware APM is built
