Compuware Corporation on Wednesday announced that Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) has named Compuware a "Value Leader" and recognized as the industry's best Business Service Management (BSM) solution in the "EMA BSM Service Impact Radar Report." The report evaluated 14 BSM vendors on vendor strength (architecture, integration functionality), cost efficiency (ease of administration, deployment, customer support, cost advantage) and product strength.

Value leaders are among the BSM Service Impact elite who have achieved the highest product scores around cost, deployability, architecture and functionality. They also have relatively quick time-to-value with strong contributive BSM Service Impact benefits.

According to the report: "Compuware's strengths in overall Service Impact monitoring are industry leading-in part because of its native strengths in flow-based views of complex applications/infrastructures, its leadership in User Experience Management and its recent acquisition of Gomez for superior support of mobile environments and transaction performance from outside the firewall."

The report goes on to state: "Compuware's diversity of monitoring capabilities inside and outside the firewall, as well as its leadership in User Experience Management makes it the best BSM Monitoring solution. Its support for service modeling and its ability to assimilate third-party sources are also central to Compuware's ‘Best Monitoring' award."

Together, Compuware Vantage and Gomez deliver the market's only application performance management solution that provides broad visibility and deep-dive resolution across the entire application delivery chain, spanning both the Enterprise and the Internet. These unrivaled capabilities make Compuware the global standard for optimizing application performance.
