"The Compuware Partner Summit will go a long way toward arming our partners with the resources they need and the recognition they deserve."

Compuware 360 Partner Program

The 360 Partner Program extends partner solution and delivery capabilities to ensure successful development, deployment and distribution of end-to-end solutions that exceed customer expectations and that address critical business issues such as IT governance, application development, quality assurance, application service management and the need to securely share data, processes and applications with partners, suppliers and customers.
