Strong Demand for Year 2000 Compliance Services Prompts Compuware To Open New Professional Services Offices
Compuware to Aid Businesses in Atlanta and Indianapolis with Year 2000 Readiness
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR - news) today announced it would offer Year 2000 compliance services including product management, automated code conversion and application testing, through two new professional services offices it has opened in Atlanta and Indianapolis. Strong demand from businesses seeking such services prompted the action.
''Automated code conversion and efficient testing processes are the keys to success in Year 2000 compliance. The problem for most IT shops is that they do not have enough reliable resources in this area,'' said Steve Fagan, Senior Vice President of Professional Services. ''Compuware's combination of highly skilled technicians and wide range of proven testing products and services offer the solution that companies are searching for to meet the Year 2000 challenge.''
Compuware leads the industry in offering a comprehensive solution to automate and speed Year 2000 compliance efforts. PRODUCTION 2000, Compuware's beginning-to-end Year 2000 offering, combines the people, products and practices necessary to accomplish the conversion with one dependable supplier.
Many Compuware clients are currently using the speed and accuracy of the PRODUCTION 2000 conversion factories for automated code remediation. For those customers already focused on testing, QASolutions, an innovative packaged service for building a reliable and repeatable testing process, is also available as part of PRODUCTION 2000. QASolutions leverages the strength of Compuware's QACenter suite of mainframe, client/server and Internet products to develop a long term process for existing applications and new application development.
