Compuware Announces New Dot.Com Knowledge Site Tailored to Individual Customer Requirements

UNIFACE Used to Build Feature-Rich E-Learning Portal

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- June 26, 2000 -- Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ:CPWR) announced today the creation of a new e-learning portal that will meet individual customer learning requirements. Built with UNIFACE, Compuware's enterprise application development and integration environment, the MyUNIFACE.com portal provides a customizable, interactive knowledge center to the UNIFACE community. The depth of information presented, the online coaching facilities and the speed with which customized information can be accessed makes MyUNIFACE.com highly responsive to customers' particular needs.

With MyUNIFACE.com, Compuware takes customers' self-sufficiency one step further with customized, personalized e-learning opportunities. This enables UNIFACE developers to assess and improve their knowledge and skills by clicking and learning their way through the most timely and relevant information. Customers are able to increase productivity and reduce time to market of business-critical e-commerce applications.

"Hurwitz Group believes that e-learning continues to show its strength and value to the new economy because fast learning often means fast doing, particularly in the IT sector, where there is great demand for skills and continuously updated knowledge, " says Elise Olding, Director of Knowledge, e-Learning and Collaboration at Hurwitz Group. "The advantage of e-learning is that it enables delivery in the context of work, so knowledge can be used immediately within the working environment."

"MyUNIFACE.com was developed using UNIFACE," explains Arno van Herk, Practices Development Director of Compuware UNIFACE products. "Integration with heterogeneous back-end systems and data sources, both internally and externally, is key to a strong portal offering. UNIFACE's renowned native support for mainstream operating systems and databases is ideally suited to the delivery of scalable, adaptable web solutions. In addition, UNIFACE delivers a range of functionality for front-end portal development allowing developers to provide administration and personalization features, as well as customizable access to a variety of information sources. We have harnessed these capabilities to develop an online knowledge center for our customers that meets their individual information and learning needs."

MyUNIFACE.com integrates two Compuware web-based services, FrontLine for UNIFACE (formerly the Pillars of Wisdom technical support application) and UNIFACE@cademy (a training and knowledge application), into one entity containing everything developers need to know about UNIFACE. Enterprise application developers can take control of meeting their own information needs, making it possible for them to decide when they follow training courses, access product documentation or join in with ongoing discussions among both experienced and novice UNIFACE users.

MyUNIFACE.com offers its users online, expert-written courses with a results-oriented, collaborative learning experience. This is provided through a Documentation section and a Developers' Club, which fosters learning and knowledge transfer through a meeting room for peer-to-peer communication, plus self-help and online coaching facilities. Coaching is vital to the success of online training because it provides support for students and a means to track their progress.

Pricing and Availability of MyUNIFACE.com

MyUNIFACE.com can be accessed immediately at http://www.myuniface.com. Access to the site is free of charge to UNIFACE customers.
