Detroit--December 6, 2012--Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced two live webcasts--one for U.S. attendees, and one for European attendees--featuring Forrester Research, Inc. that will highlight best practices to help organizations transform application performance management (APM) data into answers that solve user experience issues and optimize quality of services delivered.

Title: “Turn APM Data into APM Answers: 5 Best Practices”

When: Thursday, December 13, 2012

U.S. Time: 1 p.m. Eastern time / 10 a.m. Pacific time

U.K. Time: 1 p.m. U.K. / 2 p.m. Continental Europe time

Presenters: Mike Gualtieri, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research; Steve Tack, VP of Product Management, Compuware APM

Why: APM isn’t getting any easier: complex infrastructures, third-party and cloud services, frequent application releases, and a deluge of data from multiple sources means achieving blazing-fast performance is more complicated than ever. Couple that with the ever-increasing expectations of users, and you have a recipe for confusion, finger-pointing and war-rooms.

The traditional approach to tackling these challenges is to gather even more data, hoping that it can be used to rapidly detect, diagnose and predict application performance and solve user experience issues. Data alone is not the answer.

What: During this free webcast, attendees will learn:

• trends driving the requirement for APM to deliver more answers, not more data;
• how new generation APM solutions can collect, store and analyze increasingly complex performance data; and
• how performance analytics can be used to provide immediate answers, deeper insight and make it simpler to take preventative action.
