DETROIT, June 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This week, technology leaders from across Europe will gather in the UK for the Gartner PPM Summit to share best practices for selecting, implementing and managing projects and investments. Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), the technology performance company and a platinum sponsor of this year's Summit, will contribute to this important dialogue by showcasing two topical presentation sessions for IT and technology services leaders.

A June 19 solution provider presentation features a case study by Dell Business Analysis Director, John Rosevear. He is a ten-year veteran in managing and supporting delivery of projects in the chemical and IT industries. The presentation, titled "Driving Standards at Dell – Metrics and Milestones to Improve Adoption and Process Compliance," outlines the positive impact Dell has realized through its use of Compuware Changepoint for Professional Services Automation.

On June 20, a theatre presentation will feature Changepoint Solution Consultant Manager, Vange Vianni. Vianni's presentation, titled "Financial Visibility Drives Project and Portfolio Success," presents the business case for IT Financial Management – made even more compelling in today's cloud-based environments. In this environment, IT is expected to deliver more value with fewer dollars and must grapple with issues of cost allocation and recovery as technology services increasingly shift to the cloud.

"We have a great line-up of presentations for this year's Gartner PPM Summit, and we are very excited to have our customer Dell join us for a case study. Since adopting Changepoint in 1999, Dell has been a strategic Changepoint customer and has achieved significant success with our solution," says Lori Ellsworth, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Compuware Changepoint business unit.

Attendees at the UK Gartner PPM Summit can visit Compuware Changepoint at stand PL5 in the event exhibit hall.
