Now more than ever, executives are demanding hard evidence of increased productivity and return on investment. With the cost of IT under constant scrutiny, you have been asked to justify value and prove ROI.

That may seem like a tall order, but you can now get this information from the best possible source: the tools themselves. Compuware Hiperstation products are equipped with usage collectors that tell you exactly what you need to know to measure the return on your software investment. This is a no-charge service offered by Compuware.

The Hiperstation Usage Collector collects metrics including number of scripts created/played back and number of events captured, and supports QAHiperstation, QACenter for Websphere MQ and QACenter for Mainframe Servers.

Value Analysis
