Major Michigan IT Company Re-Focusing and Building On Success;
MTL Delegates Will Hear Straight from Executive Leadership

Bob Paul To Focus on Business Challenges Faced, Universally,
By IT Decision-Makers and End-Users.

With the evolving role of the CIO, the critical need for business IT alignment and continuous global competition, it is crucial for the IT organization to show its value and positive impact on the business. On June 5th, newly-appointed Compuware President and Chief Operating Officer, Bob Paul, will discuss how top performing IT organizations are impacting business' bottom line. In this presentation, Paul will share ways IT leaders can make a positive financial impact in their organization. He'll highlight research indicating four key competencies of these top performing organizations and share how several IT leaders have mastered these competencies to succeed.

After 35 years, the experienced Compuware team has the knowledge and skills to know the challenges and opportunities that their massive client base and prospective customers are facing. Compuware's leadership team understands the evolving role of IT in business. A perfect blend of technology heritage and strong legacy systems, combined with new elements represented by Web 2.0, collaboration technologies, and SaaS (Software as a Service), can form an ideal lyrical composition for growth and continued success.

To that end, the company has recently rebranded itself under the Compuware 2.0 theme, complete with a 3-dimensional guitar to mark the role that Compuware intends to play in "rocking IT around the globe."

MTL delegates will have the chance to interact with Bob Paul, as he discusses Compuware 2.0, IT trends, directions, strategies; and focuses on how IT leaders can have a positive impact on corporate performance.

In a recent call with the press, Paul stated that "Compuware 2.0 is not a campaign, a one-time initiative or a message. Compuware 2.0 is a rebirth based on the company's longtime principles and anchored by definable, actionable and measurable objectives. While there is a marketing component to Compuware 2.0, the core of this effort is in approaching the market in a fresh way and delivering quantifiable economic value to our customers."

Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear about the renaissance of Compuware, and the company's perspective on how to best serve CIO's and IT professionals, in this session!
