Vigilant Technologies to Address "Managed Awareness for Applications" at Compuware Partner Summit

Vigilant Technologies’ CTO to Present the Superior Value of Combining Solutions, Training and Business Process Development in a Managed Services Environment

DETROIT--June 13, 2005--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today announced that Vigilant Technologies will discuss the techniques and benefits of the "managed awareness approach" to enterprise application management at Compuware’s Detroit headquarters. Vigilant’s Chief Technology Officer, Matt Hooper, will deliver the address at the inaugural Compuware Partner Summit, taking place June 28-30, 2005.

Vigilant’s presentation will demonstrate how information technology professionals and business executives can achieve cost savings, heightened efficiency and continuity of business processes across their entire network. Vigilant has frequently delivered those results by combining its expertise in the software development life cycle with the service management tools of Compuware’s Vantage suite.

"The traditional technology reseller approach is to deliver the product along with installation and a brief training schedule," said Hooper. "But today, with applications becoming more complex and technical proficiency more scarce, implementation and training alone aren’t enough. The job is not complete until you’ve made a full transfer of the knowledge that the client’s staff needs to use the application to its full potential, which is precisely where Vigilant’s managed awareness method excels. We are excited to meet with other Compuware partners to share our success in this area."

The Compuware Partner Summit is designed to enhance the skills of Compuware’s partner community, and to help them incorporate Compuware solutions to provide additional, high value services to their clients. Several types of partners will attend, including systems integrators, consulting firms, independent software vendors and technology organizations.

"Partners like Vigilant, who act as trusted advisors to their clients, greatly enhance Compuware’s ability to deliver ROI value to our joint customers," said Bob Donald, Vice President, Partner Business Development, Compuware. "Vigilant’s managed awareness methodology maximizes the value of Compuware’s solutions, while allowing Vigilant’s clients to focus on their core business value, and not the technology supporting it."

The Partner Summit is an invitation-only event that will help attendees to expand their business offerings with proven, high value and repeatable solutions for their clients. It will feature various business and technical sessions discussing topics of importance to partners, such as application development, quality assurance, performance monitoring and other key Compuware markets, including IT governance and Compuware’s Covisint offerings.
