Compuware Announces Covisint Collaboration Portal, an "Industry-hardened" and Secure On-demand Platform for Business Communities

TRAVERSE CITY, MICH.--August 7, 2007--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today, at Management Briefing Seminar, announced Covisint Collaboration Portal. This on-demand platform, available immediately, is a highly secure, hosted service built for business users who require real-time information and application sharing. Covisint Collaboration Portal is an enhancement to the existing Covisint portal used by more than 250,000 subscribers at 30,000 companies in 86 countries.

Fortune 500 companies consistently struggle with the high costs of identity management, system interoperability and scalability for business communities. To securely interoperate, today's organizations demand global architectures, multi-lingual support and the ability to rapidly introduce new business processes.

Covisint Collaboration Portal is a secure, cost-effective and flexible solution that solves the business problems enterprises face arising from global interoperability challenges. It takes full advantage of Web 2.0 services and delivers a secure enterprise portal platform and workspace that can be personalized by communities of users across multiple organizations.

"Personalization--the process of tailoring content to an individual's characteristics or preferences--is a critical requirement of enterprise portals," stated Gene Phifer, Gartner Vice President and Distinguished Analyst in the May 2006 Gartner research report titled Portals Need to Move Beyond Role-level Personalization. "The more personal and relevant an enterprise can make a portal's content to a specific user, the more valuable that user will find the portal. In an ideal situation, an enterprise portal analyzes a variety of user- and session-based attributes to deliver highly personal and relevant views to consumers."

Covisint Collaboration Portal offers enterprises user access controls and role-based features, dynamic drag-and-drop portlets, Google Gadgets, web services, mash-ups and RSS feeds, among other advances. It also delivers group management, directed communications, a user directory, Secure File Exchange, TeamRoom and other features that securely enable communities of users to work together efficiently and effectively.

"Our customers have highly targeted and specialized needs as they share applications and information globally," said Bob Paul, President and COO of Compuware Covisint. "Covisint Collaboration Portal--the next-generation, industry-hardened platform--will deliver on those needs. It is a visionary offering with the security that businesses need and the functionality that will drive enterprise productivity and profitability."
