Compuware Changepoint Positioned in the IT PPM Leader's Quadrant

    Compuware Evaluated on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

    DETROIT, June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced its inclusion in the Leader's Quadrant of
the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management,
published on June 18, 2007 and authored by Matt Light and Daniel B. Stang.
The report evaluated more than 22 vendors on completeness of vision and
ability to execute. According to Gartner, Leaders are performing well
today, have a clear vision of market direction and are actively building
competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
    "IT PPM leaders have a history of addressing such IT requirements as
APM, providing analytic frameworks for the application (not just the
project) portfolio, as well as an ability to track such non-project IT
demand as minor software change requests, so managers can assess their
cumulative impact on resource supply," stated the report.
