Compuware Announces New Major Customers, Sponsors Six Educational Sessions at Leading Legal Technology Conference

 Compuware Vantage, Featured at ILTA '07 Conference, Provides Confidence in
            IT System Performance and Availability for Law Firms

    DETROIT, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced that it will sponsor six educational
sessions at ILTA '07, an annual educational conference hosted by the
International Legal Technology Association (ILTA). At the conference,
Compuware will also announce that four major law firms have recently
purchased Compuware Vantage to provide better IT service delivery for their
extended enterprises.
    New Compuware Customers
    The major law firms who recently purchased Compuware Vantage to solve
IT service challenges are: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, Latham &
Watkins LLP, O'Melveny & Myers, and Steptoe & Johnson. All are highly
respected firms with hundreds of lawyers and have each earned the AMLAW Top
100 ranking, sponsored annually by The American Lawyer magazine.
Additionally, one of the firms, Latham & Watkins LLP, recently won the
Legal Business Awards 2007 "Law Firm of the Decade." Each firm chose
Compuware Vantage to help ensure system availability and performance for IT
systems.
    "Since implementing Vantage, we have found great value in assessing how
our applications perform in each of our offices on a 24/7 basis," said Gary
Maganaris, Director of Application Services for Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw
Pittman LLP. "In just the past month, there have been several incidents
where we have quickly referenced the recorded performance metrics of the
'active agents' to determine if reported application issues were specific
to only one application or several -- suggesting a more broad networking
issue. Compuware Vantage will continue to be extremely valuable in enabling
a proactive approach to application performance issues which, in turn, will
minimize work interruption."
    ILTA Educational Sessions
    ILTA '07 is ILTA's 30th annual educational conference and is considered
by many to be the most important conference for the U.S. legal industry --
regularly attracting top talent for keynotes and break-out sessions.
Compuware's focus group sessions will occur on August 21-22, 2007 and will
feature customers and their peers discussing the key challenges that affect
IT service delivery for law firms. Compuware-sponsored topics are: IT in
Small, Medium and Large Firms; Making the Most of Citrix; Data Center
Consolidation; and Integrated Messaging.
    "Compuware understands the full-spectrum of IT concerns facing law
firms serving demanding and time-sensitive end-users," said Julie Asciutto,
Senior Vice President of Vertical Industry Solutions for Compuware
Corporation. "We are fully committed to meeting the specialized needs of
the legal industry, and our Vantage solutions help ensure that IT systems
deliver as expected and help solve IT problems before end-users even know
they exist."
