Investment in Product, Expertise and Opening of New Compuware Center of
Excellence for SAP Solutions Demonstrates Commitment and Partnering With SAP

DETROIT, 2014-03-11 08:57 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), the technology performance company
delivering a new generation of application performance management (APM), today
announced that effective February 1, 2014, it has opened a new Center of
Excellence for SAP solutions in the Partner Port, located near SAP
headquarters, where more than 100 SAP partners and other companies with close
relationships with SAP have office space in Walldorf, Germany. Compuware has
also increased its investment in R&D and expertise to support the fast-growing
base of companies using SAP(r) solutions.

Compuware APM for SAP Solutions is a non-invasive solution that comes
out-of-the-box, with zero configuration. The solution discovers processes and
user transactions performed with SAP software and captures important
performance parameters of non-SAP components in heterogeneous ERP landscapes.
All transactions are monitored 24/7, without placing additional load on the
servers or network. Additionally, this solution can be extended to monitor
cloud, big data, Citrix and mobile environments as well.

'SAP solutions are mission-critical applications whose performance is of the
highest importance. The increased number of companies looking to ensure that
these key applications are performing optimally is exciting,' said Blair
Drenner, Vice President of Strategic Business Development for Compuware's APM
business unit. 'The new Compuware Center of Excellence and our expanding
expertise in SAP solutions are important steps to expand our existing
relationship with SAP and with leading system integrators focusing on SAP
solutions. Compuware is committed to ensuring our customers and partners are
getting the most out of their investments in SAP software.'
