Compuware announced their Q1 earnings today and made a couple interesting statements on the call:
From Seeking Alpha:
As a fellow Compuware shareholder I think you should be pleased not just by our strong Q1 but by the opportunity Compuware has to help IT organizations around the world optimize their performance and get the most value out of their IT operations. The fundamental difference between us and our competition is we believe the category in which we participate of Business Service Management should be about proactive monitoring of IT performance rather than about capturing and resolving IT issues after the problems have occurred and the damage has been inflicted.
We will make the current positioning of the Business Service Management category obsolete in the years to come. So our success this quarter came through some important operational improvements implemented by our Compuware 2.0 initiative but the best is yet to come.
