DETROIT, Nov. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR)
today announced the first integration between its Compuware Vantage application
performance management solution and its newly-acquired Gomez Web performance
management solutions. Available immediately for customers of both Vantage and
Gomez, this is the industry's first solution to power visibility across the
entire application delivery chain -- from internal systems behind the firewall
to the Web browsers of users around the globe.
Through unified dashboards, the solution accelerates the investigation and
resolution of application performance issues impacting customers and critical
business services. This empowers IT and business executives to deliver optimal
application performance to drive brand image, customer loyalty and revenue.
"The National Hockey League (NHL) consistently brings its fans an outstanding
experience -- in our arenas and online," said Peter DelGiacco, NHL Executive
Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "With Compuware and Gomez together,
the NHL has everything it needs to optimize the performance of our most
important business applications across the Enterprise and the Internet: a
unified dashboard, visibility over the entire application delivery chain, and
immediate, deep-dive problem resolution."
Starting today, IT operations teams can gain a unified view of application
performance data from both Vantage and Gomez solutions. For example, those who
use Gomez to manage critical business applications delivered over the Internet
can now directly drill from a Gomez alert into Vantage data to analyze root
causes of issues stemming from internal systems. Similarly, IT teams using
Vantage can now view Gomez Web performance data in Vantage dashboards, enabling
a holistic view of business service delivery. Both scenarios provide more
complete and actionable information than ever before, accelerating the
identification, diagnosis and resolution of business-impacting issues.
"It would seem to be a statement of fact rather than opinion that at present, no
vendor can equal Compuware in well integrated capabilities for monitoring
application performance both inside and outside the firewall. With this first
Vantage/Gomez integration, the benefit to customers should become real and
potentially even dramatic," said industry analyst Dennis Drogseth, Vice
President of Enterprise Management Associates.
"IT operations teams are universally challenged to reduce time to resolution and
to better deliver on their commitments to supporting business services," said
Imad Mouline, Chief Technology Officer, Gomez Division, Compuware Corporation.
"Our customers have resoundingly voiced their interest in the value of
integrated Vantage and Gomez solutions, and they are excited to deploy the first
unified view of application performance across the Enterprise and Internet."
"We are committed to delivering high-value integrations between Vantage and
Gomez, and this first deliverable is proof of that promise," said Mark Hillman,
Vice President, Strategy and Product Line Management, Compuware Corporation. "By
moving quickly with our integration, we are able to provide immediate value to
our customers, within days of the acquisition close. This is a very important
first step in creating integrated solutions that dramatically improve the way
organizations manage application performance across the Enterprise and the
Internet."
The Vantage/Gomez integration is available immediately for all mutual users of
Gomez and Vantage at no additional charge.
