Compuware Helps Emergisoft Ensure Fast Patient Care for Hospital Emergency Rooms

Compuware Application Performance Assurance Enables Emergisoft to Manage Application Roll Outs With Greater Confidence, Improving Customer Satisfaction
DETROIT, Sept 09, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced that it is helping Emergisoft deliver high-quality software to hospital emergency rooms using Compuware Application Performance Assurance. With real-time visibility into pre-production performance issues, Emergisoft now has greater confidence in application roll outs and can achieve faster time-to-market. In turn, Emergisoft customers receive a high-performing application to help them ensure fast patient care.

Based in Arlington, TX, Emergisoft is a leading provider of emergency department information solutions that automate the clinical documentation and business practices in emergency rooms across the country. Emergisoft faced the challenge of growing its customer base while ensuring the quality, performance and scalability of its software product, EmergisoftED, prior to release. EmergisoftED's primary users are emergency department physicians and nurses who constantly work in a high-pressure, fast-paced life or death environment.

"A quality system that functions as expected, not once or twice or sometimes, but all of the time, and one that has a fast response, is what is absolutely required in an emergency room environment," says Dorothea Schockey, Vice President of Client Operations at Emergisoft. "There is no tolerance for anything less. Failure is not an option."

Emergisoft needed a comprehensive performance testing solution and chose Compuware Application Performance Assurance. Emergisoft's development, testing and support teams can now deliver high-performing applications as well as diagnose performance issues and remedy them long before they become critical to patient care.

"Compuware Application Performance Assurance has enabled us to implement quality improvements into our development process and meet contractual response time requirements," said Godson Menezes, Vice President of Development at Emergisoft. "Having the ability to identify and resolve performance issues before they reach production allows my team to maximize quality and reduce costs and time as well as improve time-to-market."

Compuware Application Performance Assurance provides unique performance prediction and troubleshooting capabilities. IT organizations can predict how an application will perform under varying conditions in a production network environment to expose performance problems early. Superior root-cause analysis capabilities pinpoint Java and .NET performance problems reducing costly iterative test cycles.
