Enterprise Mash-ups
DETROIT, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced the immediate availability of the Compuware
Uniface 9.2 Application Platform Suite, its enterprise application
development solution. This new version enables IT organizations to
accelerate the development and deployment of enterprise applications by
extending multi- channel support to mobile devices. Underpinning
multi-channel deployment, Uniface 9.2 also introduces extensive support for
service oriented architecture and web services technologies.
With the introduction of this version, Uniface 9.2 becomes one of the
few development tools that can deploy applications on virtually any
platform, from the mainframe to mobile devices. In addition to support for
enterprise application deployment on multiple platforms, the Uniface
Multi-channel deployment platform now also provides support for Windows
Vista and mobile devices. The new Uniface Mobile capability supports
Microsoft Windows Mobile and provides for connection via the leading
wireless technologies.
"The world of mobility and enterprise applications has been almost
completely separated, but these areas are beginning to converge at the
architectural, application development (AD) and user interaction levels,"
said William Clark, Research VP, Gartner in Gartner's Blog entry, "Making
the Leap to Services and Embracing the New Enterprise Architecture," June
1, 2007. "Mobile applications pose a unique set of challenges for IT
departments, and these must be considered along with Web-centric AD
strategies so IT can choose the right architectures that match user
requirements, device capability and network availability."
Uniface 9.2 includes new and integrated versions of the entire Uniface
Application Platform Suite (APS) including Uniface, Uniface Web Application
Server and Uniface Flow. The Uniface Portal capability in the Uniface Web
Application Server simplifies how documents, database reports and
enterprise applications are made available to employees -- as well as
external customers -- using the web-based interface. Uniface Flow is
Compuware's premier tool for modeling, integration and management of
business processes.
With enhanced support for web services and service oriented
architecture, Uniface fully supports the production and consumption of web
services for enterprise applications. This support includes XML Schema,
Soap and WSDL. Uniface 9.2 will communicate with any standards-compliant
web service, no matter how complex its data, is WS-I compliant and supports
complex communication, modeling and validation methods. Uniface 9.2 speeds
the development of portal-based applications and enables customers to
develop their own composite business services using mash-up capabilities.
"Today's IT organizations want to rapidly develop enterprise
applications and deploy those applications on a wide variety of platforms
from mobile to the mainframe," said Aad van Schetsen, Vice President of
Uniface Solutions at Compuware Corporation. "Compuware Uniface 9.2 will
help our customers to leverage the benefits of service oriented
architecture and mobile technologies to develop new and modernize existing
