Links that I have found interesting for October 31st:
- Compuware 2.0: still crazy after all these years? – According to Compuware’s Paul though, refocusing Compuware will keep it in good shape for the next 35 years. “We had miscellaneous ‘skunkworks’ projects going on, marketing programs that were done on a one-off basis – lots of inefficiencies,” he says. “We needed to create a vision for what the company is doing in fiscal 2009, and that is what Compuware 2.0 is all about.”
Will Paul and CEO Karmanos think about spinning off product lines that are no longer seen as core? “We will support our customers,” says Paul. “To put it obtusely, we are looking at all options. Breaking things apart or spinning them off could be one of those.”
Summing up Compuware 2.0, Paul adds: “We’re creating an environment for optimising IT performance. We are global, cool, innovative. We wanted Compuware 2.0 to highlight the best of where the company has been, with something a little edgy. Right, wrong or indifferent, we want to be noticed. Heck, it got your attention!”
