New White Paper From Compuware, Ovum On Application Performance

Detroit-based Compuware Corp. (Nasdaq: CPWR) and Ovum, an independent technology research and analysis firm based in London, England, have published a new white paper titled "Application Performance is in the Eyes of the End User."

The paper explores why end user experience should be a core pillar of an organization's application performance management strategy and provides recommendations on how organizations can evaluate and improve their APM capabilities.

Regardless of whether an organization's applications targets internal staff, business partners or consumers, the lifeblood of the business can hinge on the quality of the end user experience. External customers will abandon poorly performing Web sites, while internal staff will find their effectiveness compromised as internal systems fail to respond. The growing complexity of the application delivery chain makes the task of ensuring a good end user experience much easier said than done, and many enterprises will find their businesses on the line if they are unable to deliver high-performing applications to the end users.

This whitepaper outlines:
* The business impact end user experience can have on the bottom line;
* Why traditional monitoring doesn't tell the full story;
* The importance of a global view of application performance across the entire application delivery chain -- from the data center through service providers to the end user's browser or device;
* Implementing the right APM solution and;
* Planning an APM roadmap using an APM maturity model.
