Compuware Annual Report 2001

Compuware's Advantage—
Why We'll Win


Missy Reichenbach,
Sales Information Manager,
Farmington Hills, Michigan
Compuware will remain a profitable, growing company because we understand that what matters most in any business are talented people and strong principles, not glitzy technology. Our technology and our people are excellent, but more importantly, they are supported by a broad foundation of experience, long-standing client relationships and proven business principles.

Compuware is poised for a year of growth. As a single-source application life cycle vendor, we have a competitive advantage. The combination of our services and products means that customers can use Compuware resources for nearly all their computing needs at a reasonable price. This reduces our clients' overhead, paperwork and administrative hassles; it saves them time and money. We know that this is a compelling proposition and will continue to trumpet this value to both our current and prospective clients.

As our business grows more efficient and our products continue to improve, clients will find increasing value in Compuware's productivity solutions. We are in an excellent position to deliver profitable, sustainable growth in the years ahead because Compuware people and products deliver what our customers want and what they need most.


Compuware is planning to release more than 60 distributed and 25 mainframe products in fiscal 2002

"The complex nature of distributed computing has created many business problems and many solution providers. This crowded marketplace means fewer established vendors and industry standards-and more opportunities for Compuware to grow."
