BURLINGTON, MA. -- October 15, 2001 -- PS'SOFT, Inc. announced today it has formalized a partnership with Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) to deliver enhanced professional implementation services for its Qualiparc infrastructure resource planning software suite.

"It's a natural extension to our relationship," said Patrick Lhenry, CEO and President of PS'SOFT. "Our Qualiparc IT Asset Management Suite and Portal are built using Compuware technology, which makes implementation by Compuware consultants a logical fit.
