Forrester Research identifies 134 percent return on investment for users of Compuware Changepoint IT solution

Companies implementing Compuware's Changepoint IT governance and management solution have achieved up to 134 percent return on investment, according to a survey by Forrester Consulting.

The survey found that the major benefits derived from the implementation of Compuware Changepoint included cost savings, improved resource utilisation, increased project success rate, elimination of redundant projects and enhanced IT operational efficiency.

Based on interviews with four Changepoint customers - one each in the health care, financial services, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries - the overall non-risk adjusted (best case) return on investment was 134 percent.

The survey also found that, when factoring potential risk, a 95-percent return could be expected with a break-even investment period of 37 months after deployment of Changepoint. It also found that faster payback periods were realised by organisations with more mature IT governance process in place prior to the implementation of Changepoint.

The study, titled "The Total Economic Impact (TEI) of the Compuware Changepoint Solution", also showed that the faster Changepoint users adopted the solution, the shorter the payback period. The full report can be downloaded at
