DETROIT--September 27, 2007--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today announced that Jenner & Block, a full-service law firm with 460 lawyers and offices in Chicago, Washington, D.C., New York and Dallas, is using Compuware Vantage to help ensure that its IT systems are always available. Additionally, in an exclusive webinar on Monday, October 1, 2007, Jenner & Block will discuss how it used Vantage to rollout several high-profile projects, including the consolidation of four data centers and the installation of a new VoIP phone system.

With Vantage, Jenner & Block decreased time it took to fix IT service problems and gained a better understanding of the overall productivity and health of its IT systems. The result was decreased help-desk calls and reduced time to troubleshoot and resolve IT problems.

"Compuware Vantage acts as a GPS for IT service delivery problems," said Chris Lehman, Jenner & Block’s Technology Operations Manager. "Now, when IT issues arise, we immediately know where they are and how to fix them." Lehman added: "Purchasing Vantage was a business decision first, and a technology decision second, as it saves us time and money and allows us to redirect our resources to more projects that add value to the firm."

The law firm IT environment is incredibly complex, with many locations and attorneys accessing applications globally at all hours. Compuware Vantage helps mitigate risk and improve productivity and revenues by helping IT to proactively diagnose and resolve application performance problems.

"Technology problems directly impact deadlines, revenue and profits for law firms of all sizes," said Julie Asciutto, Compuware Senior Vice President, Vertical Industry Solutions. "Part of the ‘keeping-the-firm-profitable’ equation is providing an IT performance system that serves attorneys globally, 24x7, regardless of where they work. Compuware Vantage helps Jenner & Block ensure that its IT systems run as expected, which translates into productive and billable lawyers who are able to access the information they need when they need it."
