Diaz & Hilterscheid Presents Successful Quality Assurance Solution Created for Financial Services Customers at Compuware's Annual Partner Summit

  Diaz & Hilterscheid Shares Perspectives on How to Build Business Success
                     With Compuware's Optimal Solution

    BERLIN, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diaz & Hilterscheid
Unternehmensberatung GmbH announced today that they presented their Quality
Assurance Solution for Financial Services Customers at the Compuware
(Nasdaq: CPWR) Partner Summit 2007 (http://www.compuware.com/partnersummit/) event
in Detroit. Oliver Rupnow, Senior Managing Partner and Head of Diaz &
Hilterscheid Quality Services presented their process for developing
reusable test assets for financial applications and reducing the cost and
time involved with effective Quality Management.
    This solution has highly increased the efficiency of the software
testing processes in several financial institutions. Because financial
products are very similar worldwide and to a high degree standardized,
standard test portfolios can easily be defined. These test portfolios
increase the effectiveness of Quality Assurance in the software lifecycle,
and enable the development of reusable assets.
    "Diaz & Hilterscheid has established itself as a reliable service
provider in financial markets and has won a good reputation for cost
efficient solutions in the fields of QM and QA," said Jamie McGuffie,
Senior Vice President, Partner Business Development, Compuware Corporation.
"Diaz developed this successful 360 solution as part of our Solutions
Partner Program. Their success story was very inspiring for our partners
attending this year's Compuware Partner Summit."
    "The professional combination of banking expertise and many years of
experience in IT Quality Management Processes as well as in Quality
Assurance, gives us a substantial competitive advantage in the market,"
says Jose M. Diaz Delgado, founder and Managing Director from Diaz &
Hilterscheid.
    Diaz & Hilterscheid and Compuware have demonstrated their proficiency
with customized quality packages in several projects within the German

and QA expertise was supported by Compuware's technical consultants using
the test tools CaseMaker, Compuware TestPartner and FileAID-C/S. Kondor+ is
a front office application of Reuters Financial Software (RFS).
