DETROIT--November 23, 2011--Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), the technology performance company, announced today that Dynamic Risk Assessment Systems has selected Compuware Changepoint for professional services automation. Based in Calgary Alberta, Dynamic Risk is a market leader of pipeline and facilities integrity management services and solutions. The company supplies software and services to eight out of the top 10 energy companies in North America, helping these organizations comply with regulations, optimize their asset base and protect their investments.
With a ten year Compound Annual Growth Rate of 18 percent and a strategic vision for future expansion, Dynamic Risk will deploy Changepoint across its client services and software development teams. Objectives include improved project implementation and more reliable project delivery against budget, as well as reduced project risk, and improved resource demand management and utilization. Additionally, the firm plans to use Changepoint to capture and aggregate IT demand, and to project manage the development and deployment of the company's Integrated Risk Assessment System software suite.
The company's decision to move forward with Changepoint was the culmination of a lengthy market search by Dynamic Risk for a professional services automation solution that could support the needs of the company today, as well as its longer term vision for growth.
"As our organization has grown, we realized that we needed to take a different approach to optimize how we use our resources and technology," said Dynamic Risk President, Trevor MacFarlane. "Compuware Changepoint was selected after an extensive review of professional services automation solutions and a capabilities mapping against our requirements. The Changepoint team came in and invested significant time and energy to understand our needs. As a technology company, we were thrilled to see someone make this investment in us, much as we would with our clients. Through this process we discovered that not only did Changepoint meet all our requirements for total project management and resource allocation, it could also assist us in our own software development process."
MacFarlane notes that Dynamic Risk plans to launch Changepoint's portal capability to give its clients visibility into project delivery and status information in the future.
"Dynamic Risk is truly leveraging Changepoint's potential to automate a broader set of key functions inside a technology company," says Lori Ellsworth, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Compuware Changepoint business unit.
