Insight Technology Briefings - Providing information without overload

Proving its commitment to customers, Compuware South Africa's Insight Technology Briefings are a key element in the companies education campaign regarding the importance of delivering the value of IT throughout the application life-cycle - from development to quality to performance management and IT governance.

Designed to provide information without overload, the Insight Technology Briefings also provide information on the best use of Compuware's application life-cycle solutions to ensure maximum return on investment. They focus on one solution area per seminar, providing an overview of existing Compuware technology, how it integrates with other Compuware solutions, introducing upcoming features and benefits and divulging hot tips on how to use the solutions more productively to optimise investment as well as discussing real life customer success stories.

"Not only are these monthly briefings being well received for their content they are also being heralded as a success because of the networking opportunities they present," says Compuware Country Manger Wade Gomes. "By bringing solution users together, Compuware enables them to share experiences and successes, while providing an opportunity for them to interact with our own product champions."

Feedback from recent delegates suggests that Compuware is achieving what it set out to do:

Willem van den Berg at Nedcor says he learnt a lot from the briefings, "They are very informative and useful. Good quality information in short time! "

"Excellent, professional, relevant!" That's what Mervyn van Zyl, Change Controller, GSSC said when asked about the quality of the briefings. "

Topics are selected on the basis of product enhancement releases and are focused at a technical/practitioner level. Some of the topics already covered to date include: how to develop reliable and secure applications, comprehensive test data management and data security.

Upcoming topics include rapid response to production issues (19 July in Johannesburg) and life-cycle solutions for Client Server (26 July in Cape Town).
