Compuware Develops Marconi Health Care Products E-Business Site

Compuware Services' Expertise and Flexibility Chosen Over 11 Other Vendors

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- November 14, 2000 -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced the completion of the first phase of an e-business web site implementation for Marconi Health Care Products (HCP), a unit of Marconi Medical Systems. Compuware Professional Services designed, developed and provided project management expertise for Marconihcp.com, the first B2B web site in the $2.6 billion medical imaging supplies market.

Marconi HCP chose Compuware to help with the development of Marconihcp.com for its experience in B2B e-business applications and its strength in deploying practical solutions through teamwork and excellence in project management. "After extensively evaluating 12 information technology vendors we chose Compuware for their willingness to tailor the end product to meet our individual needs and the needs of our supply chain and customers," said Al Christensen, Director of e-Business Strategy at Marconi HCP. "We also selected Compuware for their ability to be a long-term partner in evolving the site."

Marconihcp.com provides instant access to an up-to-date digitized catalog featuring more than 22,000 products from more than 200 manufacturers and suppliers. The site targets healthcare and imaging administrators, integrated health network materials managers, private practice radiologists and physicians and imaging center business managers. Products available on the site are organized in categories including Radiation Protection; Contrast/Barium; Film; Illuminators; Filing/Mailing; Data Recording/Print Media; Accessories and Processors/Film Handling/ File Marking/Darkroom Accessories.

"We feel confident that Compuware is the partner who can help us reach new markets and improve overall operational efficiency, which are the cornerstones of our e-business strategy," said Joe Horvath, Manager of Business Information at Marconi HCP.

With 90 percent of United States hospitals linking to the site's data through alliances with several large group purchasing organizations and independent distributor networks, Marconihcp.com has the potential to revolutionize the medical imaging supplies market in North America.

As a web-based solution, Marconihcp.com provides registered users with the convenience of online ordering 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the ability to monitor the status of all supply orders in the Marconi HCP system. In addition, online reports give users instant and unprecedented visibility into their commerce relationship with Marconi HCP. Marconihcp.com plans to link seamlessly with the sites of business alliance partners by January 2001, making its products and services available to all buyers using those sites.
